General Description

These observations are designed to obtain J-band spectra of a faint H=20mag
 radio galaxy and some even fainter high redshift galaxies along the same slit. 
The radio is too faint to be detected in the acquisition image, therefore the slit
 should be centred on a brighter nearby star and then blind offsets made to the radio
 galaxy before the observations begin.

The OBs target the nearby reference star which has R=17.6mag, B=20.7 mag. This star
 is circled and labelled 'OFFSET STAR' in the finding charts. The offset star may
 not be a point source, but is a compact object. The slit centre should be placed
 as accurately as possible on to the centre of the reference object, preferably to
 within 0.2". The target is seen on the long exposure finding charts and
is circled and labelled 'target' and the slit is drawn on top of the target. Offsets
 to the target are given in the OB (alpha=+2.68", delta=-19.65). 
Continuum emission from the radio galaxy should be observed within 10 minutes of
 observing. If no continuum emission is observed after 1hour (i.e. after completing
 one OB) something has gone wrong.

Each OB lasts one hour and a telluric standard is needed for each OB.
