General Description

This programme aims at a IFU mapping of a sample of high-mass star-forming
 regions in order to obtain a full sensus of the stellar content of these regions.

The Aquisition is done on a reference star from where a blind offset is applied.
 After every integration with DIT = 30 seconds, an offset is applied. Sky measurements
 are taken every ~ 180 seconds.

For each OB 2 findingcharts are attached:

1) Position and SINFONI FOV of the reference star for the acquisition. The K-magnitude
 is indicated on the findingchart. The star in the center of the IFU field is the
 reference star. This is always the brighest star present in the FOV of the acquisition.

2) The offset pattern for this OB. The white squares are the "object" pointings,
 the red squares the sky pointings.

Telluric standards according to the calibration plane (delta airmass < 0.2) are
 sufficient. Prefered would be early type standards (B or A type).

There are usually multiple OBs per region: e.g: IRAS15411-5352_1 to IRAS15411-5352_3.
 Please finish a region before starting an other one.

For some OBs we have relaxed the weather constraints from Clear to Thin. However
 a decend seeing is needed (0.8") in order to resolve the stars in the crowded regions.

In case of problems, please contact Arjan Bik (abik@eso.org)
