    DEC (J2000) -5.18125 (-5d10m52.5s) 


    The corresponding galactic coordinate is  (l, b) = (17.85158111, 16.75082053).
    The position is the best-fit position based on the Fermi-LAT gamma-ray analysis by Araya et al (2022).
    The Fermi-LAT paper is https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2022MNRAS.510.2920A/abstract . 
    The position is given by Araya by private communication.
    The assumed shape is the Gaussian with the containment radius of about 0.68 degree.

Observational settings/limits

-  Wobble observation with a large offset angle 
 Since this source is largely extended with the diameter of about 1.4 degree, the large Wobble offset angle is required. In the proposal, we set the angle as 0.9 degree.
