Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)

```
14h
```

General Description

Simple point-source spectroscopy of a single z=4.42 quasar.
There are nine identical OBs.

The target is located to the North at Dec= +27deg translating
to an airmass of ~1.7 close to the meridian. Care should thus
be excercised so as to get better than 1" seeing on the guide
probe at this high airmass.

Due to the faintness of the quasar (r~19.3), proper centering
of the target on the slit is essential. An integration time
of at least 60s in the Red SlitViewer will probably be needed.
Clear transparency conditions will also help.

Waiver Requests

Waiver requested (13/1/2006) and approved (17/1/2006) to make OBs with
 total execution times larger than 1h, more precisely 1h33min20s.
Waiver requested (26/1/2006) and approved (6/2/2006) to use the non-standard 800R
 setting in service mode.
