General Description
General information:
This project comprises IFU observations of 11 targets. Each target is the subject
of a specific run, e.g. 083.C-0389(A) or 083.C-0389(B).
Each science target is the subject of two OBs. Each science OB is associated with
a telluric standard OB (and the telluric doubles as a PSF response standard).
The telluric OBs are clearly designated by CAL_T_PSF_'science target''-1'or'-2',
where -1 and -2 refer to which of the two science OBs the telluric OB is associated
with.
The science OBs should be followed by the observation of the provided telluric OB.
The science OBs do not need to be observed contiguously and there is no preference
for which is executed first.
Care has been taken to ensure that the detector will not be saturated. Below we
list details of the targets such as the R band magnitude of the NGSs and the brightest
source within 1' of the target, although we note that the target is in all cases
the brightest object in the 8" by 8" field of SINFONI. No target is brighter than
H < 6.0.
Most important information, such as the spectral type of the telluric standard stars,
is contained within the OBs.
Target information:
None of the NGSs are brighter than R < 2.0 and/or H < 6.0.
None of the science targets are brighter than H < 6.0.
In all cases the targets are the brightest objects in the 8" x 8" field of view
of SINFONI.
No objects within a 1'x1' area centered upon the targets are brighter than H <
6.0.

Special Execution Requirements
Special Calibration Information
There are no special calibration requirements for this observing run.
We provide telluric standard OBs which also serve as PSF reference stars.
The science observations (of each object) are broken into two OBs. Each OB has an
associated telluric standard OB, designated by CAL_T_PSF_'science_OB_name''-1 or
-2'. The execution of each science OB should be followed by the execution of the
associated standard OB.

Is this a Pre-imaging run ?
Pre-imaging Requirements
Source(s) of Pre-imaging
Pre-imaging sources not listed above
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 ?
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?
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 ?
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?
