General Description

The main aim of our investigation is to study the kinematical and chemical
 properties of the different stellar populations in the Carina dSph galaxy.
We plan to collect FORS2 spectra in two different fields.
1) inner field: we prepared two masks to be observed three times each.  Please note
 that the two masks contain the same objects, but the instrument is 180 degrees rotated
 (so the finding charts look very similar). This should allow us to check the systematics
 in the calibration;
2) outer field: one mask be observed three times. 
Please note that all the OBs require the 1400V grism, and that the execution time
 of all the OBs is ~1hr.

Waiver Requests

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

We require seeing better than 0.6" and clear sky.

Time-Critical Aspects

```
No time-critical aspects.
```

Special Execution Requirements

Please note that we assigned different priority to the OBs. This is the
 only requirement we have.

Special Calibration Information

We require standard day-time lamp calibration.
