Yes, I am reobserving SDSS spectra - purely for homogeneity in my sample. I'm also going about 3 mag deeper than the SDSS spectra although I chop out objects redder than the cluster red sequence. Generally ~260 fibres are allocated to science objects and ~30-40 to blank skies for sky subtraction.

I refer to it as the "mono-mirror telescope"!
