General Description

ISAAC longslit spectroscopy of the z=5 gravitationally lensed galaxy behind
 the cluster RCS0224-002.

We are targetting the OII(3727) emission which has been redshifted to 2.206microns.

This is a 2hr longslit observation with the 1" slit using the standard 
ABBA configuration to acheive sky subtraction.  We will nod
the object along the slit by 40".  Each observation is 500 seconds with 
slit PA of 50degrees

To acquire the target we will peak up on a nearby bright object and
apply a telescope offset. The peak up star is K=17.5mag star and 
has co-ordinates  ra: 02:24:32.977  dec: -00:02:32.51 (J2000).
The offsets to the target from the star are dRA = 8.895" EAST 
and dDec = 11.48" North.  The brightest object in the frame is K~15.4 and is
marked on the finder.

These observations are designed to check that this galaxy has strong OII
emission.  Once we have checked this, we will move to the SINFONI IFU and
observe this galaxy for 15 hours with the IFU.  Please execute these observations
first (and let us know so we can grab and reduce the data) before activating/commencing
 
the SINFONI observations.

Waiver Requests

In order to optimise signal-to-noise and to account for restrictions
of the choice of possible DITs that are least affected by the electronic pick-up
we requested that we be allowed  to use 3 ABBA cycles of 500seconds.  
This makes each MSB time 1h07m.  

We requested a waiver to allow this (slightly longer) execution time, 
and this was accepted.
