Abstract:Determining the internal kinematics of a galaxy from planetary nebulae (PN) is usually a two-step process in which the candidate PN are first identified in a target galaxy and then, in a follow-up run, spectra are obtained. We have implemented a new technique in which two dispersed images at the wavelength of the O  iii ] emission line at 5007 A? are combined to yield positions, magnitudes and velocities of the PN population in a single step. A reduction in observing time of about a factor of 2 is attainable. We present here the proof-of-principle results.
Keywords:instrumentation: spectrographs  planetary nebulae: general  galaxies: distances and redshifts  galaxies: individual: NGC 5128  galaxies: individual: NGC 1400  galaxies: kinematics and dynamics
