Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
These observations are undertaken to unravel the evolution from O-type
star to LBV to Wolf-Rayet. This proposal will specifically determine the dust properties
and morphology of LBV-type stars verses WC-type WR stars. We suspect that the dust
production is a result of binary wind interactions.
Obsblocks A and B contain the observations of WR 76 which failed to schedule under
the original program. Since both baselines are needed to properly interpret the
data, if given a choice, we prefer that the stars lacking only the ut3ut4 baseline
execute first, i.e. observation blocks C,D,E, and H.
Waiver Requests
Critical Observing Condition Constraints
WR 95 transits at sunrise on March 14,2005. We would be grateful for observations
as close to transit as possible and we are willing to postpone observations until
later if needed and possible. Unfortunately, cycle 76A does not correspond to the
same time of year as 73A.

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 ?
