BARS Observation Report
NOT / April 14, 15 and 16, 1996

Observers : Helmuth Kristen and Adrick Broeils

A brief summary of our observations at the NOT (3 nights, April 14/15,
15/16 and 16/17):

Instrument: Brorfelde2 CCD (2048x2048) with a field of 3.8'x3.8'.
Alas, the Tip/Tilt plate of the adaptive optics did not work, so
we were limited to the atmospheric seeing.

Filters: UBVRI broadband imaging.

Night one was spent on R and I (with a seeing of about 0.6-0.8''),
the second night we did B and V (seeing 0.8-1.2''),
and night three was completely devoted to U (seeing about 1.1'').
   The third night presented some clouds, probably limiting the quality of
the U-band observations especially for the early objects. Since this night
was certainly not photometric, only the observations of the first and
second night were interspersed with photometric standards.

The observed galaxies:

                U       B       V       R       I
