Default How to get scope time to obtain 7 spectra?

In article ,

Is there any path anyone knows for me to get some scope time to take
some spectra and determine what 7 targets around an interacting galaxy
pair are? They are blue, so, probably O B stars???


It is probably already known what they are. In many cases, multi-band
photometry can give a good estimate of the identity and even the
redshift.

Anyway, is it possible to get scope time for spectroscopy of 7 objects
near:

Telescope time is highly competitive; spectroscopy requires more time.
As other replies in this thread indicate, there is probably a lot of
information at your fingertips. Without experience (or collaboration
with someone with experience), the chances are zero, even if the targets
are interesting. In this case, it is probably obvious to experts what
they are. Sometimes, something isn't mentioned because it is obscure.
