General Description

This program is designed to complete the observations of a z=3 galaxy
 incase they are not completed in 079.B.

SINFONI IFU observations of a highly magnified, gravitationally lensed galaxy at
 z=3.072.
We are mapping OII(3727), Hbeta(4861) and OIII(5007) emission which are redshifted
 to 1.51, 1.97 and 2.04um respectively.  We are using the H+K grating.

We are using the LGS with the 3x3" field of view (sampled at 0.1"x0.1").  There
 is a tip-tilt star (magnitude R=14.8, B=16.1, K=12.7) aprox. 27" away.

Acquisition:  Please center the IFU on the tip tilt star and apply and offset to
 the target position.  The positions in are measured from a HST/ACS image and should
 be accurate to <0.1".

Since the target is extended, we are chopping by dec=+7" to sky for sky-subtraction.

The finders show the target, tip-tilt star and guide star.  Finders are made using
 a DSS image, HST I-band image and a Keck/NIRC K-band image.

The target comprises a foreground elliptical surrounded by a "ring" of material
 which is the lensed galaxy.  In a single OB it should be easy to identify this morphology
 in the collapsed, white light image (from observations taken with sinfoni ifu+lgs
 in Jul 2007).
