General Description

We plan to collect spectra of three fields around the Carina dwarf Spheroidal
 galaxy. The main aim of this project is to characterize the kinematical and chemical
 properities of the different stellar populations hosted in this galaxy.
Two fields are located in the central region. One will be observed once with the
 1400V grism.
The second one will be observed twice with the 1028z grism.
The other 6 OB are identical one to the other, to ensure that the faintest objects
 in the external regions reach the required S/N ratio.

Waiver Requests

We submitted a waiver request on Dec 06, 2005, in order to include two
 OBs with the 1028z grism. The waiver (076.B-0648.02.WAV) was approved on Dec, 7.

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

We require seeing better than 0.7" and clear sky.
