General Description

This is a K-band spectroscopic program with 31 targets, with a range of
 magnitudes of K=11.5-17.  In some OBs there are two targets in the slit, while in
 others there is only one target.  The slit position angle in each OB varies according
 to the requirements of covering both targets (if there are two) and also avoidance
 of extraneous stars in the slit.  All targets are in the Galactic Centre so the
 fields are crowded.  We have therefore provided three finder charts for each target
 field.  The first finder is from 2MASS, showing the full ISAAC field with the required
 slit centre position at the centre of the finder.  However, our targets are not
 always visible on the 2MASS finders due to the low resolution and limiting magnitude
 of 2MASS.  Therefore the second finder chart is the ISAAC image we obtained for
 these target fields in 2003, showing our target(s) and the required slit position.
  Tn the case of the full ISAAC finders the required slit centre position is generally
 *not* at the centre of the finder image.  Finally, the third finder is a zoom-in
 from our ISAAC finders with a 40 arcsec^2 size, centred at the required slit centre
 and showing the required slit position angle.
