General Description

This program uses the VIMOS IFU to obtain redshifts for as many galaxies
 as possible within 30" of a number of bright stars at high Galactic latitudes. These
 stars are being used for wavefront sensing with NACO in a parallel program of deep
 K-band imaging. Combining these discrete fields provides a total area of more than
 30sq. arcmin at a spatial resolution of 0.1" and is enabling us to detect galaxies
 fainter than Ks~23. The aim is to probe the sizes, morphologies (e.g. disk vs spheroidal)
 and magnitudes of faint galaxies as a function of redshift.

Special Execution Requirements

Each Field has 2 OBs (eg IFU-SBSF06-1 & IFU-SBSF06-2). If only one
 of each pair has been observed, please observe the second (if possible) before starting
 a new field. Even better would be to execute the second OB of each pair immediately
 after the first.

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 ?

```
N/A
```

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 specify suitable guide stars for all your OBs using Guidecam ?

```
N/A
```

Did you check that the chosen guide stars are suitable for all the offset positions and that they do not produce unacceptable vignetting of the field of view ?

```
N/A
