General Description

This program is devoted to measure stellar abundances in the SB galaxy
 NGC3256
by means of the medium resolution spectroscopy with ISAAC.
Target coordinates very accurate, taken from the 2MASS H band image of NGC3256 
and refers approximately to the center of the galaxy.

If you prefer to center a star and offsetting to the galaxy, here are the coordinates
 
of the star on the top left corner of the FC (2MASS 10275544-4353496, J=13.2)
alpha=10h 27m 55.5s  delta=-43d 53m 49.7s
and of the stars about 30 arcsec south of the galaxy (2MASS 10275160-4354450, J=14.2)
alpha=10h 27m 51.6s delta=-43d 54m 44.8s

Slit oriented as indicated in the finding chart (P.A. = +51.75 deg), in order to
 be aligned 
with the major axis of the galaxy and to include the tail of the spiral arm at the
 SW side.
Jitter box=5'', Nod throw 60''.
2 OBs at 1.19 micron and 1 OB at 1.60 micron.
