Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
This SINFONI program is composed of 15 targets each being observed in
J and H band. Observations are carried out with the 0.25 pixel scale without AO.
12 targets will be observed 2 hours in J band, spitted in 2 OBs of 1 hour each,
and 1 hour in H band (only 1 OB). Then, each target corresponds to 3 OBs: 2 in J
and 1 in H band. The IFU is always oriented N-E, ie PA=0.
2 target will be observed 2 hours in J band and 2 hours in H band (4 OBs).
1 target will be observed 2 hours in J band and 1 hours and 20 minutes in H band
(4 OBs).
The acquisition sequence consists in a brighter reference object (J magnitudes and
astrometry given in the OBs in the user comment line) and an offset.
The sky subtraction strategy consists in a classical ABBA sequence using our own
defined offsets, using a GenericOffset template.
Two finding charts have been attached per OB: a wide field wide and a zoom on the
IFU FoV. The target is indicated by a circle and the IFU and its center respectively
by a square and a small cross. The IFU position drawn on the fc corresponds to the
first pointing (A of the ABBA sequence). The 'xx' at the end of the OBs' name showed
on the fc is a wildcard for the wavelength band, meaning 'J01', 'J02' or 'H'. The
object guide is indicated by a losange (J magnitudes are indicated on the comment
lines of each OBs). Images have been taken from ISAAC (J band) or EIS (I band).

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 ?
Did you indicate the magnitude of the brightest object in the field in
each SINFONI OB?
If you are using the AO: Did you indicate for every OB the magnitude
of the guide star, and its distance to the target (if any)?
If you submitted OBs for standard stars, did you use the provided StandardStar
templates?
If you are using a specific offset pattern or position angle: did you
check carefully the definition in the manual?
Did you make really sure that none of your OBs ever saturates the detector?
If you are using the AO: did you enter the correct Strehl Ratio (on-axis,
K-band) AND the seeing value in the constraint set?
