FORS2_Std

The lists of available calibration fields and stars are given here for various FORS2 setups, i.e. for Bessell filters, Spectroscopy, and empty Fields for Twilight Flats.The name of the Observation Blocks already prepared by PSO andavailable for any visiting observer is given, as well as some informationon the field or star. These OBs can be retrieved from the control room in the  /home/visitor/impex/FORS2/ directory. For service mode, PSO staff will use the same observing blocks.
