General Description

SINFONI + AO observations of redshift ~ 1 galaxies.  The goal is to obtain
 high signal-to-noise velocity and dispersion fields over the full radial extent
 of these galaxies. The observation pattern is OSO OSO where sky exposures (S) are
 generally taken 30-40 arcsec from the target in empty regions of the sky.  On-source
 integrations (O) are dithered with small offsets of ~0.2-0.5 arcsec.

       Infrared magnitudes of the targets are unknown- they are high redshift galaxies
 and very faint.  
       Hence, blind offset from the tip-tilt stars are required.
