General Description

The OBs for this run make Sinfoni observations of two fields in IC4662
 (A1/A2, C1/C2 identified in finding chart) for two-thirds of the exposure time,
 along with a sky field off of the galaxy (for one-third of the exposure time). 
 They are no-AO observations in the 0.25" scale.  Each OB begins with a blind offset
 from a bright star about 1' north of the galaxy, with H=8.842, K=8.676, the brightest
 object in the first finding chart.  Then we make generic offsets in a hexagon around
 the two radio peaks (A1/A2, OB cycles 1-7) and between them (C1/C2, cycles 8,9)
 to achieve a jitter pattern.  The OBs are named cycle1-9 for each of H and K bands.
  The priority is to do both H and K together, e.g. both cycles 1, then both cycles
 2, etc, in order to obtain even coverage in both bands even if the full set of OBs
 is not completed.  The brightest clusters in our fields have K=13.6-15.3 mag, so
 our 300s exposures won't saturate. The offset star is bright, but 5s exposures will
 not saturate in the best observing conditions.

Waiver Requests

An extension to file these Phase II OBs by Feb. 28 without penalty was
 kindly granted by ESO USD (USD-12601, F. Comeron).
