10h

General Description

The target is an eclipsing binary for which VLTI/VINCI observations exist
 between
orbital phases 0 and 0.4. The AMBER observations shall be taken at orbital phases
between 0.4 and 1: we have specified the corresponding time critical aspects.
PLEASE DON'T EXECUTE MORE THAN 1 OB PER NIGHT.
The eclipsing binary is certainly not resolved by MACAO, but there is another visual
component at a separation of ~0.7" (and at PA~330degree) ---> see Finding Chart
 1.
But, the target for this AMBER run is only the eclipsing (NIR brighter!) component!
The second finding chart attached to the SCI OBs is a sketch, because the original
 
DSS image is completely overexposed for a 5'x5' region (target is V~2mag).
