FORS1 imaging program of the soft X-ray source RX J0806.3+1527.  
In order to obtain the rate of change in its orbital period, 
the PI is requesting that the observations be carried out in 
three blocks of 3 hours each.  A waiver has been granted 
to allow this and to allow the use OBs longer than 1 hour 
(under the usual restriction that they will not be repeated 
if the observing conditions degrade after 1 hour).  The first 
3-hr block has to be carried out as early as possibly (Nov./Dec. 
2003), the second 3-hr block is to be carried out in the middle 
of the period (Jan. 2004), and the third one as late as possible 
(March 2004).  Apart from this the PI has also obtained a waiver 
to use the non-standard ABCD,2x2,high read-out mode (under the 
usual restriction that the user has to supply his own calibrations).
Therefore the user has also provided his own calibration OBs.  
Apart from the timing restrictions, there are no other restrictions 
on observing conditions.
