General Description

LR spectroscopy in SZ and SK band of a z~6 SDSS QSO. The OB target coordinates
 are the QSO coordinates. The QSO has a magnitude of z'~20 and will hardly be visible
 in the short acquisition image. Therefore,
a nearby reference star is included in the slit (the PAs is set that way). This
 K~15.5 star is 25" away. Once the star is centered in the dispersion direction in
 the slit no offset will be necessary (apart from the nod throw).

We know this is not a constraint that can be selected currently, but low water vapor
 is preferred for this program as the wavelengths of interest are sensitive to telluric
 absorption.

Finally, we strongly prefer the K-band observations to be finished before starting
 the SZ-band. Priorities have been set that way. The only difference between OBs
 of one band are the length of the nod throw (either 30", 31" or 32").
