Observation Strategies . For broad band filters the sky background will limit the detection of faint targets. ... See Table 6.3 on page 113 for sky level as function of ecliptic coordinates.) If these higher sky levels would severely impact the science data, observers should consider specifying the special requirement LOW-SKY on the Phase II proposal. ... Scattering of bright Earth light in the OTA can produce non-uniformities in the background which may hamper analysis of faint target images. ...

... The J, H and K bands are characterized by a bright background, such a background is mainly due to the emission of atmospheric lines and of thermal radiation. ... If the source cover a large fraction of the slit, spectra off-source must be observed to adequately sample the sky background. ... The on chip integration time (time spent in each position of the slit) must not exceed 40 seconds in J and H bands and 60 seconds in K band. ... We suggest a sequence of 10 for each elementary integration time. ...

In 2007-2008, the planet Uranus will reach one of its annual equinoxes for the first time since 1966. As a consequence, its five major satellites orbiting in the equatorial plane will undergo a season of mutual eclipses and occultations very similar to the one that Jupiter's Galilean satellites undergo every 6 years. ... Some of these events occur when Uranus is at conjunction, or the satellite is transiting or too close to the limb of the planet. ... Complete table of events . ...
