General Description

GRB 021206 is the best event so far with millisecond time-scale variations
 in its prompt gamma-ray emission over a wide energy band (up to ~15 MeV), to set
 a lower limit on the quantum-gravity energy scale. If the redshift of GRB 021206
 can be determined, the current lower limit on the quantum-gravity energy scale can
 be improved by about a factor of 2-3. Therefore we propose to obtain the photometry
 of the host galaxy of GRB 021206 in 6 bands to determine its redshift.

There are 4 OBs to be executed with ISAAC. 2 OBs with 35 minutes exposure time with
 H filter, one OB with 30 minutes exposure time with Js filter, and one OB with 30
 minutes exposure time with Ks filter.

Special Execution Requirements

Please execute all OBs of a certain filter. For example this program has
 2 OBs with H filter. In case of time loss due to bad weather etc., do not omit one
 of the H-band OBs; either execute or do not execute both of them.
