General Description

Aim: to obtain near-IR spectroscopy of 2 core-collapse supernovae.

The targets are indicated on the finding charts and the slit is
oriented to include a reference star in the slit (for both objects).

Note that the reference star might not be centred in the slit after the
offset to target was applied, that's ok - no extra rotation should be
applied! This is to prevent
the target (which is faint) falling outside the slit.

SN 1979C is 31".9W, 2".1N of the reference star.
SN 1978K is 24".18W, 1".2S of the reference star.
Please check the signs in the acquisition template, where
it has been assumed that the orientation is as follows: 
E increases to the right, N increases downwards.
