General Description

We want to determine the velocity despersion of the outer halo globular
 cluster Pyxis. In order to do this we observe 28 red giants and red horizontal branch
 stars in Pyxis. The observation is done in three set-ups: 'bright' for stars with
 R<18.3, 'medium' for stars with R<18.7 and 'faint' for stars with R<18.8.
 For each set-up seven stars are observed, the 'medium' set-up is performed twice.
 The eighth UVES fibre is used for sky measurements.

Waiver Requests

On July 29th, 2005 a waiver request was submitted and approved. The request
 was for extending the execution time per OB to approximately 1hour and 14min instead
 of 1hour. Our WaiverID:  076.A-0534A.01

Special Execution Requirements

We would like to set the following priorities in executing the observations:
The three OBs "pyxis_bright*" should have the highest priority and should be executed
 first.  The OBs for "pyxis_medium_a*" have the second-highest priority and should
 all be executed after "pyxis_bright*" is finished.  The third-highest priority goes
 to the OBs "pyxis_medium_b*".  Lowest priority is awarded to the OBs of "pyxis_faint*".
  Of course all of these observations are important, but we realize that it may not
 be feasible to execute all of them.  Hence we propose priorities in the sequence
 of the magnitudes of the stars.

Special Calibration Information

We request calibration according to the standard calibration plan.
