General Description

This is a run to acquire late-phase spectroscopy of the Type Ia supernova
 SNF20080723-012.
The object is very faint (V~23.0-23.5). For this reason we need dark conditions
 without 
moonlight, reasonably good seeing (1.0" or better) and not too high airmass (1.4
 or less).

This is the first epoch of spectroscopy within this programme (the second one is
 in run C).
Since the SN is fading, this run should be executed as early as possible, preferentially
 
in April.
This run should be carried out at the same time as run B (imaging). However, since
 it 
requires ~4h, this may be difficult within one night. Instead, you may split runs
 A and B 
into 2 nights, which should be close in time (within few days), but do not necessarily
 have 
to be strictly consecutive.

On the finding chart we have marked the reference star from which the blind offset
 to the 
supernova shall be performed.
