Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
The idea of the project is to derive the brightness, positional angle
and separation of the binary BS Indi. We estimate that the separation
of the two components is about 40 mas. The stars themselves are point
sources. The primary is a K0V star, the secondary is likely to be an
M0V star. The system has a K magnitude of 6.6. We estimate that
the primary has 7 mag and the secondary possibly 8 mag in K.
HD204873 is the visibility calibrator selected from CalVin.
In the proposal, the we suggested to us UT2-UT3-UT4 as base line.
However, Joao Alves contacted me and said that this is not possible but
UT1-UT3-UT4 can be scheduled. The OBs are thus for baseline UT1-UT3-UT4.

Is this a Pre-imaging run ?
Pre-imaging Requirements
Source(s) of Pre-imaging
Pre-imaging sources not listed above
Do all your OBs comply with the instrument-specific requirements listed
on the instrument-specific Phase 2 web page ?
If this is a pre-imaging run, did you select PRE-IMAGING for the Observing
Category for each Observing Template ?
Do all your finding charts comply with both the general and instrument-specific
Phase 2 Web Pages ?
If you submitted OBs for standard stars, did you specify the magnitude
and spectral type of all standard stars in the OBs ?
Have you included OBs for any calibrations that you need but which are
not part of the Calibration Plan ?
If you are observing Moving Targets, have you attached suitable ephemeris
files to your OBs?
If you have preferences which OBs should be executed first, did you make
use of the User Priority field in the OBs ?
If this is a run that requires coordinated observations with other facilities,
did you give proper instructions in the Time-Critical Aspects Section ?
Did you indicate for each science star OB the corresponding calibrator
star OB (and vice versa) in the 'Instrument Comments' field ?
If you use calibrator stars which are not in the CalVin database, did
you specify their characteristics in the README file and in the OBs ?
