General Description

The program is straightforward J band imaging of point sources selected
 on their (very) 
red i'-z' colour in wide-field CCD images from CFHT. The IR imaging is needed to
 distinguish
between brown dwarfs (which have red z'-J colour) and quasars at redshift=6 (which
 have 
neutral/blue z'-J colour; their very red i'-z' is due to the redshifted Lyman break
 and 
their spectrum is otherwise mostly flat).

The coordinates are good to better than an arcsecond, and given the pointing accuracy
of the NTT and the SOFI field of view finding charts are unnecessary.

Waiver Requests

We asked to be relieved of the chore of producing unecessary finding charts
 :-)

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

Conditions need to be photometric to within ~5% (i.e. very thin cirrus
 is tolerable, but
really not much of it).

Since we are dealing with isolated point source, additional integration time can
 
(within reason) be traded against seeing.
