The integral field spectrograph configuration of the LMIRCam science camerawithin the Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer (LBTI) facilitates 2 to 5$\mu$m spectroscopy of directly imaged gas-giant exoplanets. The mode, dubbedALES, comprises magnification optics, a lenslet array, and direct-visionprisms, all of which are included within filter wheels in LMIRCam. Ourobserving approach includes manual adjustments to filter wheel positions tooptimize alignment, on/off nodding to track sky-background variations, andwavelength calibration using narrow band filters in series with ALES optics.For planets with separations outside our 1"x1" field of view, we use athree-point nod pattern to visit the primary, secondary and sky. To minimizeoverheads we select the longest exposure times and nod periods given observingconditions, especially sky brightness and variability. Using this strategy wecollected several datasets of low-mass companions to nearby stars.
