General Description
1. This program is designed to obtain H and K spectroscopy of two Seyfert
galaxies (missing from P74), with two slit positions per galaxy. In each
case please be sure to center the nucleus on the slit. This is especially
important for the NGC1097 observations, as the starformation ring in this system
is not much smaller than the
array. NOTE, the Position Angle for NGC1097 slit #2 is a good starting point
only! Please adjust the
position angle as required to ensure that the slit passes both through the nucleus
and through the bright
ring-knot to the NW of the nucleus.
2. In addition, wherever possible, please complete a series before going on to the
next. For example, choose
NGC1097_H_slit_1.3_of_3 over NGC1097_H_slit_2.1_of_3.
3. If the chosen DIT values result in saturation (not anticipated) please do adjust
the DITs such that the
data lie just below the non-linearity limit. In every case the brightest source
in the field is the nucleus
of the galaxy itself, and both NGC1097 and NGC1386 are K = 12.2 in 1" (determined
from NACO SV observations).

Pre-imaging Requirements
Source(s) of Pre-imaging
Pre-imaging sources not listed above
Do all your OBs comply with the instrument-specific requirements listed
on the instrument-specific Phase 2 web page ?
If this is a pre-imaging run, did you select PRE-IMAGING for the Observing
Category for each Observing Template ?
Do all your finding charts comply with both the general and instrument-specific
Phase 2 Web Pages ?
If you submitted OBs for standard stars, did you specify the magnitude
and spectral type of all standard stars in the OBs ?
Have you included OBs for any calibrations that you need but which are
not part of the Calibration Plan ?
If you are observing Moving Targets, have you attached suitable ephemeris
files to your OBs?
If you have preferences which OBs should be executed first, did you make
use of the User Priority field in the OBs ?
If this is a run that requires coordinated observations with other facilities,
did you give proper instructions in the Time-Critical Aspects Section ?
If you have PSF reference star OBs, do the names of those OBs begin with
PSF_ ?
If there are Finding Charts attached to your OBs, is the field-of-view
of at least one of these charts 2' x 2' (with clearly labelled field orientation)
?
Have you clearly marked and labelled your wavefront reference objects
R1, R2, R3, ... (as specified in the NAOS Preparation Software) on your Finding
Charts ?
Have you specified the magnitude of the brightest object in the field-of-view
for each OB ?
Are there objects in any of your fields (including standard stars) which
are brighter than the limits specified in the User Manual and on NACO web Pages
?
If the previous answer is yes, have you given a list of OBs and a justification
for the brightness limit violation in the general description field ?
