General Description

This program is aimed at obtaining high S/N spectra covering the CIV 1549
 and the CIII] 1909 blend in high redshift (z around 3) quasars. The lines, redshifted
 into the r band, are covered by a single spectral frame for each object up to ~
 8500 Angstroms.

Targets are relatively bright  quasars (r < 19) and should not require a blind
 offset. A check with the ETC for FORS1 indicate a very high S/N is reached for r=19
 through filter GG435+31 in 20 sec acquisition exposures.

Parallactic position angle (9999 code in acquisition template) is preferred; otherwise
 PA=0 is OK.
