Assessment
Title: GMOS IFU observations of emission line sources - Herbig Haro Objects
Modes: IFU in 1-slit mode
Additional instrument verification: Data reduction pipeline for IFU 1-slit mode data.
Telescope verification: Acquisition and guiding with GMOS for tested modes. Stability of guiding over long periods of time and large hour angles.
Proposed observing sequence: 18 dithered 10min exposures.
OT program file: GN-2002B-SV-73.xml
