General Description

We propose to observe the young, massive star cluster W3 (K=15.4) in NGC7252
 with SINFONI in the J, H, and K-bands with the 0.25" scale. For each OB the star
 cluster should be put in the center of the SINFONI FoV. For the science observations
 I used an AutoJitter template with a box width of 4". The observations will be carried
 out in natural seeing without AO.

In natural seeing the target cluster is unresolved and also the brightest object
 in the Sinfoni FoV with K=15.4. The size of the SINFONI FoV is indicated on the
 finding chart with a black box on top of the target.

The three K-band OBs have the highest priority and should be carried out first.
 Each set of two OBs for J and H-band have equal priority.  

A telluric standard star (preferably early-type; A or B dwarf) should be taken after
 each science OB as foreseen in the calibration plan.

Waiver Requests

A waiver request was granted to extend the total execution time for three
 OBs to 1h07min (383.B-0625A.01.WAV; 27.01.2009). The remainig 4 OBs stay within
 the 1h5min limit.

Special Calibration Information

Source(s) of Pre-imaging

---(Empty)---

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)?

```
N/A
```

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?

```
N/A
```

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?

N/A
