General Description

• High-resolution spectroscopy of type IIn supernovae (ToO). The primary
   goal is to observe the Halpha line. The choice of dichroic will depend on the redshift
   of the target and will be made at the time of triggering.
  
  The finding chart (provided at the time of triggering) will typically be made from
   a pre-explosion image, i.e. the target itself will not be visible, and but it's
   location will be clearly marked.

Waiver Requests

• No Waiver Request was submitted

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• -

Time-Critical Aspects

• Will be specified at the time of triggering.

Special Execution Requirements

• Please adjust slit-width to seeing.

Special Calibration Information

• Strongly request that the calibration OBs be taken with exactly the same
   instrument set-up (binning, central wavelength etc.).
  
  Request that the spectrophotometric standard specified at the time of triggering
   also be observed through a 10" slit, with the same instrument configuration as used
   for the science observation as specified in the calibration plan.

ToO Information

• Exposure times, dichroic setttings etc. will be chosen upon identification
   of the target(s) as the redshift of the target needs to be taken into account for
   instrument configuration.
  Finding charts will also be provided at this point.
