General Description

This is a program to determine the orbital parameters of merging pairs
 of galaxies with GIRAFFE IFU.  The OBs are quite straight-forward to execute and
 there are no special requirements.  Observations of each field is grouped into 2
 sets of OBs with slight offsets in the pointings between the individual IFUs between
 the 2 goups.  We have done this to ensure that both members of each pair is observed
 for the same amount of time (i.e., the field of view of the IFUs is slightly too
 small to ensure the each member of the pair is adequately covered in a single
set up).   Otherwise, OBs for each field are identical.

Waiver Requests

We have submitted a waiver request. We request that the execution time
 be extended to 2 hours to increase the efficiency of the observations.

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

We do not have any critical observing constraints.

Time-Critical Aspects

There are no time critical aspects to this proposal.

Special Execution Requirements

There are no special execution requirements.
