General Description

SINFONI IFU observations of the z=5 gravitationally lensed Galaxy behind
 the cluster RCS0224-002.

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

We will use the SINFONI IFU with the H+K grating and the 8" field of view.

To acquire the target, we will peak up on a nearby objects and then apply a blind
offset.  The peak-up-object is K~17.5 and has co-ordinates: ra: 02:24:32.976   
dec: -00:02:32.59  (J2000). The offset to the target from this star is: 
dRA = 8.535" EAST and dDec = 8.46" NORTH.  Please see finders for clarity.  The
 target co-ordinates in each OB are that of the peak-up star.

To observe the science target, we will use 295sec exposures and the standard ABBA
 configuration.  Since the science target is long and thin, we will keep the 
target in the IFU during the sky-offset observations.  
Offsetting the IFU 4" WEST will be sufficient to acheive sky subtraction AND keep
 the 
galaxy in the IFU.

We require at least 1 flat field and 1 arc calibration for each MSB executed.
