General Description

The intention is to map H_2 emission around the nucleus
of the cooling flow galaxy at the center of Abell 2597.  We are interested in
both kinematics and line ratios.  There are 4 separate pointings and 4 OBs
per pointing, 1 extra for P3. Finding chart for P2 is mislabelled P1 but is OK 
 
OBs are dithered by 0.25" in RA to account for possible bad pixels.
Each OB consists of 2AB cycles between source and sky with
no jitter because the entire field is full of emission.
Acquisition is on a nearby reference "star" which is actually a small high
surface brightness galaxy.  Previous ISAAC experience shows that it is easy
to center on this galaxy.  
The sky pointings are about 40" away from the source pointings.  There should
be no cluster emission this far away.  There is only one finding chart per
OB, showing the 8x8" sinfoni field of view.  I don't think a smaller-scale
chart will do much good in acquisition; this must be done by accurate
offsets from the reference "star".
