... The procedure simply observes ON your source for x minutes and then takes a `blank sky' observation OFF your source for the same amount of time and tracking the same azimuth and zenith angle range. ... If your scans are for 5 minutes or less, your wait time should be set to 1 minute (the default setting). ... 2 (scan duration) + (slew time) + (calibration time) A 5 minute ON/OFF + 10s CAL takes 11.3 minutes. A 7 minute ON/OFF, (which has a 2 minute slew time plus a cal) takes 16.3 minutes. ...

... The J, H and K bands are characterized by a bright background, such a background is mainly due to the emission of atmospheric lines and of thermal radiation. ... If the source cover a large fraction of the slit, spectra off-source must be observed to adequately sample the sky background. ... The on chip integration time (time spent in each position of the slit) must not exceed 40 seconds in J and H bands and 60 seconds in K band. ... We suggest a sequence of 10 for each elementary integration time. ...
