General Description

H+K band IFS observations of embedded/redenned young stars (J-K typically
 between 2 and 5).  Each star is an outflow source.  Our aim is to map H2, [FeII],
 etc. at the base of each outflow in good (0.6 arcsec) seeing.  Hence we request
 the 100 mas pixel scale, even though AO is not possible due to lack of nearby optically-visible
 stars.

Note that for each target the position angle is non-zero, so that the fine pixel
 scale is aligned along the outflow axis.  In other words, the IFS p.a. is set orthogonal
 to the outflow axis.  I indicate the direction of each jet axis with an arrow in
 the finding chart;  the IFS field-of-view is also rotated accordingly.

Targets may appear slightly nebulous in imaging mode.

In IFS data expect to see continuum from the source, plus line emission from the
 jet, in one sky-subtracted exposure.  The line emission may be extended by a few
 arcseconds.  Brightest lines: H2 1-0S(1) at 2.1218 micron, five or six H2 Q-branch
 lines between 2.4 and 2.5 microns, possibly [FeII] at 1.644 microns, and (coincident
 with continuum only) BrG at 2.166 microns.

N/A
```

Did you indicate the magnitude of the brightest object in the field in each SINFONI OB?

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?
