General Description

This is a project aimed at spectroscopically identify and a sample of
 bright X-ray sources
undetected in the optical (to R>25) but detected in the near-IR with magnitudes
 K=18-19.
The procedure is generally to center SINFONI on a nearby star and then offset blindly
 to
the source and then offset within the SINFONI FOV with a fixed pattern so that
sky subtraction can be achieved by using the same images within the fied
(with the exception of OBs BPM62_181 where we had to take the sky outside the
field, because to source field is too crowded).

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 ?

```
N/A
```

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 ?

```
N/A
```

Have you included OBs for any calibrations that you need but which are not part of the Calibration Plan ?

```
N/A
```

If you are observing Moving Targets, have you attached suitable ephemeris files to your OBs?

```
N/A
```

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 ?

```
N/A
```

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)?

```
N/A
```

If you submitted OBs for standard stars, did you use the provided StandardStar templates?

```
N/A
```

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?

```
N/A
