-Depending on the sky subtraction strategy, following offsetting options are available: 
-  * dithering (aka jittering): using CFO-PP2 chopper or telescope offsets
-  * sky offsets: using telescope offsets. Can be implemented in situations where there is no suitable blank position at the regular chop-throw distance (5 arcsec), in case of e.g. crowded field, or a very extended target. 
-  * sky offsets + dithering. Offset to a sky position, and back to the target, with a small dither that places the target in a slightly different position on the detector than the initial one. Can be performed using the CFO-PP2 chopper or telescope offsets, or a combination of the two.
+
+The observations can accommodate any sequence of offsets, depending on the science application and sky-subtraction strategy, e.g. small offsets (dithering) with or without larger offsets to a separate sky position. The offsets can be performed using the CFO-PP2 chopper or telescope offsets, or a combination of the two.

-**Note:** The METIS_img_lm_obs_FixedSkyOffset template is a special case of the METIS_img_lm_obs_GenericOffset template, but with an advantage of simplicity from the user point of view (only one offset positions is specified, and the rest is calculated by the system).

 In the N-band, the fluctuations of the thermal background requires chopping. Since the simple subtraction of two chopped frames (on- and off-axis positions) leaves chopping residuals, we additionally need to regularly offset (nod) the telescope. The parallel mode template compromises in terms of field of view (it chooses the smaller field masks of the LM band imager) and in terms of background subtraction (it uses chopping which is probably not required in the LM band). According to preliminary data, 1 Hz chopping would be sufficient for the GeoSnap (N band) detector and read-out at this rate would not compromise the performance of the L band imager (too much).
