| Title: | IFU spectroscopy of bright cluster galaxies | |||
| Modes: | IFU | |||
| Additional instrument verification: | Data reduction pipeline for IFU data. | |||
| Telescope verification: | Acquisition and guiding with GMOS for tested mode. Stability of guiding over long periods of time and large hour angles. | |||
| Proposed observing sequence: | IFU: Multiple 30 min exposures | |||
