General Description

The goal is to get the velocity map and velocity dispersion map of the
 lensing galaxy in the Einstein Cross: Q2237+030. 

Good image quality is required (We use AO, but natural seeing of 0.5-0.6 (on the
 seeing monitor) will translate to 0.3-0.4 in the IR. AO is therefore *NOT* mandatory
 to the success of the project as long as the final image quality is below 0.4 arcsec.).
  The goal is to achieve images as good as the ones done during on Q2237+030 during
 the commissionning of SINFONI (fig. 1 of our phase I proposal) but much deeper,
 using the target itself as the AO guide. The spaxel used is always 0.1 arcsec and
 the H-band grating.

If the project is started at all, it is estimated that the minimum amount of data
 leading to useful science is at least 50% of the total planned exp time (in this
 case we will be able to
measure velocities, but no velocity dispersions). 

The observations of the two stars HD16640 HD22997 are essential, as velocity calibrators.

Flux calibration is desirable but not mandatory.
