General Description

The aim of this programme is to obtain deep Ks-band imaging of two quasars
 at z=4 in order to detect and characterise their host galaxies. 

Observing Blocks
To place meaningful constraints on the host galaxy we need ~6.5 hours of on-source
 integration for each quasar (a total of ~9.4 hours including 45% acquisition and
 jitter overheads). This is broken up into 10 Observing Blocks, each of 55 minutes
 duration.

Acquisition template: Simple Telescope Preset

AutoJitter specification:
Box size: 30 arcsec. This will include a useful amount of blank sky whilst ensuring
 that the target quasar and several nearby stars (used to model the PSF) are always
 in the frame.
DIT: 12 secs. This is within the recommended range for ISAAC at Ks-band, whilst
 ensuring that the brightest stars remain in the linear regime.
NDIT: 7 (giving a total of 84 secs at each jitter position)
NINT: 23 (ensures OB length < 1 hr)

User Priority: SDSS J131052.51-005533.2 OBs have been ranked 1, SDSS J144617.35-010131.2
 OBs ranked 2

Brightest objects in FOVs
SDSS J131052.51-005533.2: B=16.565 I=15.347 
SDSS J144617.35-010131.2: B=18.868 I=15.288

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

Seeing constraint is essential. A major deterioration of seeing during
 the OB will severely compromise the data.
