Dynamical models of galaxies are limited by the paucity of kinematic data at large radii. Beyond the feasible limit of integrated-light spectroscopy, we rely on discrete tracers such as planetary nebulae and globular clusters. We describe a large (~200) sample of planetary nebula (PN) velocities in the outer regions of the cD elliptical NGC 1399. These data were obtained with a counter-dispersed slitless-spectroscopy technique which traces the kinematics to about 60 kpc (McNeil et al., 2009).
