That sounds good, Chris. So far, the weather is still poor here, although Gemini has at least
opened their dome and they are getting started with pointing, etc. The weather map looks like it
could go either way, it could clear or not. Do you think it would be reasonable to send in that
request for FORS2-->FORS1 flexibility without ruffling too many feathers?
So both of the targets you have tried tonight have emission lines that might indicate z ~ 0.85-class
redshifts? I assume that you can't tell yet if there is any evidence at all for supernova broad
lines, since presumably you haven't yet been able to do anything beyond a quick look at the 2D
spectrum.
