Scientific paper

We will be attempting to obtain future UV flat fields at other wavelengths by the same means used to obtain the current ones (see ISR FOC-060). Although it is possible to estimate the count rates that will be observed from published data and current throughput paramters for the FOC, there is some uncertainty in the expected count rates. Since these flat field observing programs are quite time consuming, it would be prudent to make quick checks of the actual count rates with short test exposures. This proposal does that by observing the areas of the Orion Nebula that we expect to use with the filters that will be used. The count rate checks will all be taken with smaller formats than the intended future flat fields so that more accurate count rates can be measured if they are higher than expected. Each area observed will have one short full format exposure taken if it has not been observed in the past to see if there are stars or other features that may pose problems for future proposals.
