General Description

We are looking for Halpha emission from z~1 galaxies close to QSO sightlines.
 The fields have already been observed in K-band imaging, revealing the presence
 of the galaxy.

The slit is centered on the QSO (which are 15-17th magnitude in K) and positioned
 over the galaxy via the specification of a position angle.  The galaxy itself will
 almost certainly _not_ be visible in the acquisition image (although where possible
 the second acquisition filter has been set for Halpha from the galaxy). Only in
 one case is an offset star used for acquisition, due to a bright star close to the
 QSO itself. Each target has two approximately one hour long OBs: They are exactly
 the same, except in the offset sky position.
