General Description

The aim of the project is to map out the emission conditions in low redshift
 galaxies whose integrated spectra from the SDSS show similar ionization properties
 to that of z~2 galaxies. The targets have been optimized to fit inside the FoV of
 the VIMOS IFU.

Since the objects are large we need to offset to sky and we split the observing
 to do one sky observation in the middle so we do object - sky - object.

The offsets to sky have been chosen to be <1' in total so the guide star can
 be kept during the offsets (which are not all in the same direction).

The finding charts contain the standard information. In addition we have provided
 locations & distances not only to the nearest visible star in the DSS images,
 but also to the nearest HST Guide Star Catalogue star to ease orientation. The location
 of these stars on the image is indicated by the dashed lines.

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

Offsets of IFU are less than, but close to 1' - this might influence choice
 of guide star.
