General Description
This program is to obtain spectroscopy in the SZ and J-band of Halpha,
and also
[NII]6584, for zCOSMOS galaxies with 0.5 < z < 0.9.
The range of redshifts gives a range of central wavelengths.
There is one target galaxy in the slit, and the reference object.
The targets are:

For all of the spectroscopy observations, I have provided an offset
star plus an accurate offset to the target. In all cases, I
have set the slit PA so that the offset star should still be in
the slit when the offset has been applied.
For each spectroscopy OBs, there is a grey-scale finding chart of an ACS I-band
image,
showing the offset star (marked with a rhombus) and the
target galaxy (marked with a square). Both target galaxy and offset star should
be in the slit, so the slit position is obvious without explicit drawing.
Waiver Requests
Critical Observing Condition Constraints
For all OBs, CLEAR sky transparency conditions is acceptable, as specified
in the proposal.
Moon constraints: For all targets, conforming to our proposal, we ask for a Fractional
Lunar Illumination < 0.7, since moonlight contributes to the sky background when
observing between the OH lines in SZ and Js. The distance from the moon should be
>50 degrees.
Seeing constraints: we are relaxing the seeing constraints to < 1.5", since we
plan to observe with an 2" slit.

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 ?
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 ?
If you are doing spectroscopy, did you draw the slit on the Finding Charts
?
Did you enter the magnitude of the brightest star in the field-of-view
in the 'Instrument Comments' field of each OB ?
If you use the MoveToPixel acquisition, have you given clear instructions
on the FC and in the OB comment section as to how the field should be centered ?
