General Description

LGS-AO assisted SINFONI observations of two galaxy nuclei, NGC2784 and
 NGC5846. The IFU should be centered on the target galaxy, as determined during acquisition.
 The details of the targets and tip-tilt (TT) sources are as follows:

Target     Object Kmag   TT Rmag   Separation
-------    -----------   -------   ----------
NGC2784      12.6         16.0       30"
NGC5846      14.0         15.5       30"

For the second science exposure within an OB, a different return position after
 the sky offset has been given for different OBs, to ensure some 'dithering' of the
 exposures. The first exposure is always centered on the galaxy, the position being
 set by the accuracy of the acquisition.

Special Calibration Information

If possible, please try to use hot (A/B) main-sequence stars for the telluric
 standard that are not binary systems in the SIMBAD database, as this can really
 help the data quality.

The calibration OB CAL-M0III-K-0.1_NoAO is a radial velocity template star, Vmag=11.3,
 Kmag=6.2, spectral type M0III. The object name is given as its SIMBAD identifier.

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 ?

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

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 ?

```
N/A
```

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)?

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

If you are using a specific offset pattern or position angle: did you check carefully the definition in the manual?

```
N/A
```

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?
