General Description

This programme is part of a search for high-redshift galaxies around a
 luminous z=6 quasar. This i- and z-band imaging run will be combined with ISAAC
 imaging in the J-band to apply the 'i-band dropout' technique. 

This is an imaging programme consisting of 31 observing blocks, where 13 OBs are
 taken with the z filter and 18 OBs are taken with the i filter. The same field is
 observed in all observing blocks.

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

No additional critical constraints for this programme.

Time-Critical Aspects

There are no time critical aspects for this programme.

Special Execution Requirements

As stated in the OBs, there is a very bright star (J=6.494 mag, K=5.838
 mag) close to the field of view. It has to be avoided at any cost that light of
 this star leaks in. However, the most favorable case would be that SDSS J1306+0356
 is in the center of the FoV.

Special Calibration Information

```
Only standard calibration is required.
```

ToO Information

```
This is not a ToO programme.
