General Description

This program is aimed at observing H-beta and the FeII blend at 4570A
 or at 5130A (rest wavelength) of intermediate redshift quasars from the ESO-Hamburg
 quasar survey.
Spectra are to be collected in LR mode with slit width 0.6 arcsec, each in the band
 which covers the targeted spectral range at the redshift of the observed source.
The magnitude of the brighest source in each 150x150 arcsec field centered on the
 target is given in the User Comments field of the respective OB. Only one field
 (HE 1349+0007, targeted by two OBs) includes sources brighter than m=11, and requires
 offset from a reference star for acquisition with a narrow-band filter.
