General Description

The program aims at obtaining spectroscopy in the H and K grisms of three
 blue dwarf galaxies. 

AO correction is obtained with the LGS for SBS 0335-052 and for NGC 3125. A nearby
 tip tilt star has been selected for NGC 3125. For SBS 0335-052 the tip tilt reference
 is the brightest stellar cluster in the galaxy, this object is quite prominent,
 however shall it be too faint or too extended please select a suitable nearby star
 (there is one at about 56"). We use the scale of 0.25 for NGC 3125 and the scale
 of 0.1 for SBS 0335-052.

AO correction is obtained with NGS for NGC 1705 using the brightest cluster at the
 center of the galaxy. For this object we use the scale of 0.25.

Standard calibrations are enough for all targets. --> As telluric we prefer solar
 type G2V stars <--
                                                  --------------------------------------------------

In all cases the brightest object in the field is one of the clusters in the galaxy
 itself, the brightest is the one in NGC 1705 with K=12.7.
