General Description
K-band integral field spectroscopy of young embedded clusters in the starbursting
environment of the AGN in NGC1365. AO loop closed on the nucleus (AGN). The idea
is to resolve and detail the brightness and velocity distribution of nebular lines
around the embedded clusters.
The reference (central AGN) is quite faint, at the limit for closing the loop, hence
the program needs good seeing. Each observation was split into two similar OBs for
two reasons:
-the OBs would be larger than 1h if they were in one block
-we can have better benefit of the periods of good seeing.
The targets emit continua at a level of about 1mJy in the K band corresponding to
a K magnitude of 14.5. Each targets is composed of a non-resolved source (on the
ISAAC image diam<0.6arcsec) surrounded by extended emission up to distance of
~2arcsec from the core.
On the finding charts for the source called M4, the fiels should be centered as
drawn i.e., the centered on the N-band cluster, which is slightly offset with respect
to the integrated K band light.

Is this a Pre-imaging run ?
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?
