General Description

These OBs are identical and consist in standard SINFONI+LGS observations
 of high-redshift galaxies (a pair of galaxies), with the following parameters:

Target magnitude: i=23.6 (J~23), angular size ~ 2x3arcsec

Tip-tilt star for laser guide obsrevations : R=16.9, B-R=1.0

Angular separation between the science target and AO reference (tip-tilt star) =
 52 arcsec (+/- 1 arcsec with the offsets), the tip-tilt star is within the Sinfoni
 selector field

------------

I (the PI) will have only intermittent email contact during august. During this
 period, any question or request can be directed to:

Dr Nicole Nesvadba, Paris Observatory: nicole.nesvadba@obspm.fr

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 ?

Have you included OBs for any calibrations that you need but which are not part of the Calibration Plan ?

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?

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?
