General Description
We are observing this galaxy via IFU using the HR blue and HR orange grisms
to map the 2D distribution of helium, nitrogen and oxygen abundances via the temperature
sensitive [OIII]4363/5007-A and [NII] 5754/6854-A ratios. The gas density will be
mapped via the [SII]6716/6730 ratio. Spatial variations of the SFR and 2D distribution
of Wolf-Rayet stars will also be mapped.
Critical lines to be reached at a good S/N>5 ratio per spaxel are [OIII]4363-A
and [NII]5754-A to allow accurate per position temperatures and hence forbidden-line
abundances to be derived.
Finding chart 2 and rotator angle: the rotator angles in the OBs have been modified
to reflect the fact that Rotator Angle = PA. Here, the orientation was chosen so
as to cover as much a portion of the galaxy as possible in one diagonal IFU dimension,
and yet to allow several fibres to sample the target's "outflow" along the second
diagonal dimension.

Is this a Pre-imaging run ?
Pre-imaging Requirements
Do all your OBs comply with the instrument-specific requirements listed
on the instrument-specific Phase 2 web page ?
If this is a pre-imaging run, did you select PRE-IMAGING for the Observing
Category for each Observing Template ?
Do all your finding charts comply with both the general and instrument-specific
Phase 2 Web Pages ?
If you submitted OBs for standard stars, did you specify the magnitude
and spectral type of all standard stars in the OBs ?
Have you included OBs for any calibrations that you need but which are
not part of the Calibration Plan ?
If you are observing Moving Targets, have you attached suitable ephemeris
files to your OBs?
If you have preferences which OBs should be executed first, did you make
use of the User Priority field in the OBs ?
If this is a run that requires coordinated observations with other facilities,
did you give proper instructions in the Time-Critical Aspects Section ?
Did you specify suitable guide stars for all your OBs using Guidecam
?
Did you check that the chosen guide stars are suitable for all the offset
positions and that they do not produce unacceptable vignetting of the field of view
?
