High-precision relative photometry of the lightcurve of 
a planet passing in front of its host star using FORS1.  
The P.I. is reqesting this programme to be carried out 
on UT April 25th, 2004 (night staring on April 24th), 
with the OB starting around 00:30 UT.  Conditions will 
have to be photometric, or these observations will have 
to be postponed to a future transit date. In order to 
obtain the required precision, some special care needs to be 
taken in the selection of the guide star, which must be 
the same during the entire 4-hour long observation sequence.
Additionally, the programme uses a non-standard read-out 
mode and the high-resolution collimator. Special flatfields 
need to be taken in order to calibrate these data.  The user 
has supplied OBs to take these. Waivers have been granted 
for the OB duration of 4 hours, with the usual caveat that 
the OB will not be aborted or repeated if conditions degrade 
beyond the 1 hour mark, and the non-standard read-out mode 
and flatfields - under the condition that these only will be 
taken on a best-effort basis.
