General Description

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 which is about one magnitude fainter in the K band but 7 mag
fainter in the V band. HD204873 is the visibility calibrator.

In the proposal, we asked for the baselines UT2-UT3-UT4 which is the
best for this project, which was also approved. However, if it is not 
possible to use this configuration, we would also be happy to observe 
the source with another configuration (for example UT1-UT3-UT4).

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

For AMBER observations it is suggested in the
manual to request a seeing of 1.5 and thin 
clouds.

Time-Critical Aspects

The object is from ST 16:50 to ST 1.50 higher than 30 degrees above the
 horizon,

Special Calibration Information

Just normal AMBER calibration is needed. The
visibility calibrator is also taken from the 
VLTI web-page.

N/A
```

Did you indicate for each science star OB the corresponding calibrator star OB (and vice versa) in the 'Instrument Comments' field ?
