The grism angle won't be optimal for Patuxent, but no orientation will
be wonderful. The core of that galaxy is bright and will contaminate the
SN spectrum no matter what we do. So we shouldn't worry about this
further. It's probably a Type II in a spiral (see SN color) anyway.
Even if it isn't, we'll at least know what galaxy model to subtract out.
Remember Lifan and I had to do this for SuF02-060, and it worked out
brilliantly.
