General Description

This is observations of SN 1987A, an emission line object.

We will obtain IFU in H and K band using a nearby star (Marked in the finding chart)
 as the AO star.

       --------------------------------------------------------------------
       SN1987A-***     ~15.                  3'' arcseconds   extended object (1.7''
 x 1.2'')
       
Neither the NGS or the target is brighter than 6th magnitude in the NIR.

The brightest star in the SINFONI FOV is the AO guide star, which is R=15, and located
 North West from the supernova.

The finding charts are made from HST images. The positions are accurate down to
 0.4'' (and from HST as well).

We have chosen a somewhat small jitter box width (0.375'') this is because the object
 is extended and we do not want it to fall outside of the FOV.

Special Calibration Information

We rely on the calibrations provided in the daily calibration schedule.
 
For the standard stars we request that stars are used that the type is well known.
 Either G type or B type.

Source(s) of Pre-imaging

---(Empty)---

Pre-imaging sources not listed above

---(Empty)---

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?

```
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?
