General Description

Aim: To measure the black hole mass in the Seyfert 1 MCG--6-30-15 by mapping
 Ca triplet kinematics around the nucleus using ARGUS high resolution mode. Very
 accurate centring is not required, as long as the nucleus is as near the centre
 of the ARGUS field as possible.

Fiducial stars, Guide star, sky etc.: all are chosen in a relatively small region
 around the nucleus, since they were taken from a FORS image to preserve the same
 astrometric system. This also means that some of the stars are faint, but they should
 all still be within the guiding and fiducial star brightness limits. Several sky
 fibres have been randomly placed over the field. Even if 1 or 2 of these cannot
 be observed, that is fine.

Target: Note that target is an AGN, and known to vary in magntiude, i.e. exact magnitude
 is unknown, with variation of up to a magnitude in the literature. So even if our
 S/N requirement is not met in the outer ARGUS fibres, this is fine.
