General Description

These observations consist in H+K spectroscopy of z~2.4 quasars. Hbeta
 and prominent [OIII] lines should be observable in H and Halpha+[NII] in K. The
 aim of these observations is to obtain velocity fields of the Quasar host galaxies
 from the narrow lines.
Therefore each OB will provide a 3D data cube with 4x300s different exposures on
 source (the object is dithered by ~0.5" i.e. 5 pix) and 2x300s different exposures
 on sky (dithered in the same way) offset by ~20". The galaxy sizes are expected
 to be ~2" in diameter, therefore given the 3"x3" FOV of the 0.1mas spaxel mode,
 we need to offset to find the sky.

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

The critical observing condition is seeing. To obtain the requested strehl
 ratio a seeing <0.8" is required.
Also the airmass limit is critical if it affects the strehl ratio.

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?

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?
