General Description

• We want to obtain deep FORS2 spectroscopy of faint LBGs in the GOODS-South
   field. We use
  two pointings with two grisms each (1200R and 1028z). We use 45 obs: 
  sciMXU_0162_1200R_P1_01-11 (Pointing 1 and Grism 1200R)
  sciMXU_0162_1028z_P1_12-22 (Pointing 1 and Grism 1028z)
  sciMXU_0162_1200R_P2_23-33 (Pointing 2 and Grism 1200R)
  sciMXU_0162_1028z_P2_34-45 (Pointing 2 and Grism 1028z)
  
  The two setups for the same pointing are very similiar (e.g. the same rotation and
   pointing). However, some slits are different and of course the grism is different.
   
  
  We need the following conditions: seeing 1'', dark time, and clear sky.  We need
   no special calibration.
  
  We used FISM and the Vanzella et al. 2008 catalog (which is based on the ACS GOODS
   images) to generate the masks.  The catalog of the reference stars was generated
    from the corresponding ACS GOODS catalog (z mag between 18 and 20 and pointlike
   sources).  On each mask three we put a slit on three bright stars  our reference
   star catalog. These three slits should be used when looking at the  slitthrough
   image to check if the mask is well placed.

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• The most important constraint is dark time. The next important constraint
   is seeing, which should be below 1''. If the conditions are "thin" instead of "clear"
   we do not bother.
