“The VLT is Europe's great leap forward, heralded as a new window on the distant universe. Surely we can think of some joint projects that will turn the Americans green!” Trying to rally the troops at the annual meeting of our ECfunded “Galaxy Formation” network forced me to think about where the VLT pay-off might really come. A talk from Alan Moorwood provided some valuable ideas. The first efficient near-IR spectrograph on an 8-metre telescope could detect Ha past redshift 2 and [OII] 3727 to redshift 5. How about getting kinematics for distant galaxies like those in the Hubble Deep Fields or the infamous “Steidel” objects? This would have to clarify their relation to nearer, dearer, but (perhaps) more boring galaxies. Of course, I'd never taken an infrared spectrum of anything, but why not start now?
