General Description

Science case: VIS and NIR Spectroscopy of a redshift 6 quasar (QSO) to
 
search for intervening absorption lines. Each OB has one AB sequence.
Execute three identical OBs. 

Return to origin is only necessary if another identical OB is about
to be executed for this same program. The position of the reference
star should be checked at the start of each OB.

Our experience with ISAAC shows that it may be possible to see the QSO
on the slit (the slit is narrow) in the acquisition image. If the QSO
is not visible then the acquisition exposure time can be reduced. The 
reference star is much brighter than the QSO.

We don't expect to detect the QSO in the UVB, but have set parameters
anyway.
