General Description

High angular resolution integral field K-band spectroscopy of young clusters
 and star forming regions in starburst galaxy NGC1808.

Targets are different from LGS. 

All these OBs will use the AO correction on the nucleus of the galaxy (AGN) which
 has a magnitude of 14.5 in R. The fields to observe are located at less than 10arcsec
 from the nucleus. The nucleus has already been used to close the loop with SINFONI.
 For the quality of the correction it is important to observe with seeing <=0.6arcsec.
 

There are three OB types for this program:

NGC1808_M3, NGC1808_M6, NGC1808_M8:
these OBs are priority one
3x3arcsec2 fov, the targets are deeply embedded star clusters, and evidence for
 collimated outflows are expected from these observations. 

NGC1808_8 to NGC1808_26:
these OBs are priority two:
3x3arcsec2 fov, the targets are more evolved young star clusters.

NGC1808_NE, NGC1808_NW, NGC1808_SE and NGC1808_SW:
these OBs are pririty three:
8x8arcsec2 fov: four fields in order to observe the whole starbursting region. 

The targets marked by the arrow heads on the finding charts and they do not always
 correspond to obvious sources on the K images. The positions of the targets were
 derived from MIR images. The extinction is important, and the service astronomer
 should point the location shown by the arrow on the FC and not what he thinks is
 the most plausible source.

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 ?

```
N/A
```

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

```
N/A
```

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 ?

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?

```
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?
