Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)

• 1.66

General Description

• - This is a simple imaging run of the possible debris disk star HD35850
   in the N and Q bands with SIC and Q2 filters. The finding chart shows a K-band (2
   MASS) FOV where to find our object. The science target is probably the brightest
   source in the field in the N band.
  
  - Science target HD35850 is K=4.9, N~0.5 Jy, Q~0.1 Jy
  - PSF calibrator HD32887 is N~40 Jy and Q~16 Jy (NOT Part of the CP)

Waiver Requests

• Accpeted waiver request 384.C-1115G.01.WAV for OB longer than one hour

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• For this imaging run, we necessitate high angular resolution:
  1) Thus we need to be diffracion-limited at 10 microns, which occurs with a seeing
   of 0.8" in the optical.
  2) Since we image faint structure, we necessitate optimal atmospheric conditions
   (photometric) in order to have minimum flux losses.

Time-Critical Aspects

• We necessitate to be diffraction limited in the N band. Thus we requested
   observations at low airmass. We would like to have the observations within 1.1 airmass
   at periods indicated in Time intervals. Calibrators should be observed at similar
   airmasses

Special Execution Requirements

• During data reduction, in order to perform appropriate centering of the
   20 mu image on the 10 mu image at the pointing accuracy of the telescope, it is
   mandatory that 20 mu images are aquired immediately after the 10 mu images. N band
   and Q band imaging must not be separated. This implies an OB longer than one hour,
   which has been accepted thanks to a waiver.

Special Calibration Information

• For this run, we request the observation of a standard star, for which
   we submitted a specific OB:
  
  - Standard star is HD32887 which can be observed at same airmass as the science
   just BEFORE the scientific target.
