STIS CS (Debes) pointed out a couple of issues with previous submission.
(1) BUFFER-TIME for Visit 1S was set at 180 sec. Changed to 136 sec based on ETC calculations (4/5 times recommended).
(2) Visit 2S acquisition exposure time increased from 0.1 to 0.3 sec (resulting estimated S/N is ~106).1969140608----- Attempting Submission 1 (Mon Apr 20 20:40:58 GMT 2020) -----

This new program, ULLYSES (UV Legacy Library of Young Stars as Essential Standards), will provide a UV spectroscopic reference sample of young (< 10 Myr) high- and low-mass stars. It will target over ~150 OB stars in the Magellanic Clouds and lower metallicity galaxies in the Local Group, and ~40 T Tauri stars and brown dwarfs in the Milky Way. In addition, ULLYSES will monitor 4 typical T Tauri stars over different rotational phases through at least three rotation periods, and over timescales of months to years. The resulting library will provide template spectra of massive stars at metallicities substantially below the well studied, while the low mass sample will cover a wide range of ages, accretion rates, and masses, including objects down to well below 0.5 M_sun. The legacy of this large UV dataset on the first 10 Myr of stellar evolution will be enhanced by complementary datasets obtained by the scientific community. In addition to the core goals of the program related to stellar astrophysics of low and high mass stars, this data will also enable exciting science in the fields of ISM, CGM, jets, and exoplanets. ULLYSES will be modeled after the Frontier Fields program: all data obtained will be non-proprietary. The implementation team at STScI is developing high-level science data products and a sophisticated database and website for disseminating data from the ULLYSES program and ancillary datasets for the ULLYSES target sample from space and ground-based facilities.This proposal includes a subset of the massive ULLYSES stars being observed in the Magellanic clouds.
Depending on target brightness, the main FUV spectral range will generally use either the STIS E140M setting or the combination of the COS c1291 + c1611 settings. Sufficiently bright stars without good FUSE data in the archive will also be observed with the COS c1096 setting to provide coverage at shorter wavelengths. Where time permits, stars of type O9 or later will also be observed with STIS E230M/1978, while for supergiants of spectral type B5 or later E230M/2707 may also be included. Where possible, targets of a given spectral type were selected to span both a range in extinction and in rotation rates to support a variety of stellar and ISM studies.
Signal-to-noise requirements used to determine the desired exposures times were defined as follows:
COS/G130M/c1096: 20 / nine-pixel resel at 1080 A
COS/G130M/c1291: 30 / six-pixel resel at 1150 A
COS/G160M/c1611: 30 / six-pixel resel at 1590 A
COS/G185M/c1953: 30 / three-pixel resel at 1860 A
COS/G185M/c1986: 30 / three-pixel resel at 1980 A
STIS/E140M/c1425: 20 / two-pixel resel at 1200 A
STIS/E230M/c1978: 20 / two-pixel resel at 1800 A
STIS/E230M/c2707: 20 / two-pixel resel at 2800 A
The actual implemented exposure times may be adjusted to efficiently use HST orbits, but should always provide at least 80% of the desired time as defined by the above requirements.
Additional details about the scientific motivation and technical implementation strategy of the ULLYSES observations can be found at http://www.stsci.edu/stsci-research/research-topics-and-programs/ullyses. The ULLYSES program is based on the recommendations of a working group led by Sally Oey; the full text of that group's report can be found at http://www.stsci.edu/files/live/sites/www/files/home/stsci-research/research-topics-and-programs/ullyses/_documents/HSTUV-report-ULLYSES.pdf.0falseSUPPORTEDEXT-STARWOLF RAYET - WNNOAV332 : SK108, SMC AB6, SK 108

Tried overplotting FUSE spectra over the adopted SED, but they have much higher fluxes. Checked the coordinates of the FUSE observations, and they seem to be slightly offset from the target here which means that they must have caught two stars of similar brightness.MPG-355CL-NGC-346-MPG-355J2000SpT=O2III(f*); E(B-V)=0.10; U=11.5; B=12.6; V=12.7; F1160=8.16e-13; F1360=7.00e-13; F1700=4.50e-13The scheduling data was generated by CASM 28.2.CASM was run in Phase II mode./private/var/folders/7q/8p7_k1q56vlfhxhm_v9tnb6m0004ph/T/OPVisit7012235503275374722.xmlvstatus; 1S; AV332; P/STIS Approved for submission; P/TS 20/04/20; intrev: complete ; P/CP 15/04/20

There is a star with similar brightness about 6 arcsec to the southeast of target (MPG 368). However, the target star is more than magnitude brighter than MPG 368 in V magnitude, so the target stars will be correctly acquired even if the HST pointing error results in pointing between the two stars.
