General Description

This program comprises near-IR (K-band) integral field spectroscopy of
 seven relatively faint objects (LINERS) using the 0.1" pixel scale.
Thus it requires good seeing (<0.8") and airmass <1.4. Our program will benefit
 if these parameters 
are lower than the specified values. Preference is given to M87, NGC1052 and the
 Sombrero galaxy and therefore the OBs of these objects should be executed first.
 There are four OBs per object, except for NGC3169 and NGC4261 which have two OBs,
 and M87 which has five.
We are using in each case the target (the nucleus) as AO guide star. The R magnitudes
 of the objects in a 3" aperture are:
M87: R=15.7
NGC1052: R=14.0
Sombrero: R=13.9
M58: R=14.1
M84: R=14.7
NGC4261: R=15.6
NGC3169: R=15.6

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)?

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?

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?
