High-precision relative photometry of the lightcurve of 
a planet passing in front of its host star using FORS2.  
The P.I. is reqesting this programme to be carried out 
on UT May 16th, 2004, with the OB starting around 23:00 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.
Also, the target needs to be centered at pixel (1970, 500) 
in order to minimize cosmetic defects from the CCD for both 
science and comparison star.  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.
