Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
We want to exploit SINFONI in no-AO mode as a ?focal plane light bucket?,
collecting all the light from a point source even at poor seeing. It can be run
at any time during the semester and is independent on the moon.
This programme is speci?cally designed as a ??ller? which can be executed under
all seeing conditions.
The programme is a continuation from P83. The 43h time allocation is virtual, as
at the time of proposing for P84 it was not clear how many objects would be done
in P83. In fact, most of them *were* done, so that"s why we now have only 16 OBs
for a total execution time of only 6.5 hours. This is all that we request in the
current semester, then the programme will be 100% done.
Within the 8\"x8\" field of SINFONI the targets are always by far the brightest
objects. Their 2MASS magnitudes in the observed bands are listed below
HE 0146?5002 .. 16.1 .. (H band)

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?
