Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
Want to measure details of angular diameter and circumstellar
emission in medium resolution both in the continuum (2.1um)
and around a CO line (2.3um).
Expected visibilities will be similar (2.1) or a little lower
(2.3) then the LR_HK case, i.e. possibly for the longest UT
baseline V little less than 0.1
K mag of TX Psc is -0.7
Use of IRIS is accepted and preferred.

Special Calibration Information
Iot Psc is not in the Calvin list, but is a primary VLTI
calibrator (Richichi et al. 2006 submitted) of high
quality. It is at 14.deg from TX Psc. It has been
selected because of its brightness (K=1.0), brighter
than the Calvin calibrators.
Visibilities of Iot Psc, depending on UT baseline,
are expected to be between 0.35 and 0.90.
Diameter UD_K=3.2 (similar in J and H)
sp type K1.5III

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 ?
