General Description

We want to obtain AO images of already known companions of exoplanet host
 stars to follow their orbital motion.
We plan Ks-band imaging with the semi-transparent coronograph and the S27 optic.

The bright primaries must be placed under the lower right mask as it is shown in
 findchart_gl86_c.jpg and findchart_hd27442_b.jpg. These files also show the expected
 positions of the companions as red circles.

Because this is an astrometric program we need an astrometric calibration of the
 S27 optic. Therefore, we selected the astrometric calibration binary HIP14464. 

Science OB: GL86    Calibration OB: HIP14464_1

Science OB: HD27442 Calibration OB: HIP14464_2

additional daytime calibration:

Please take lamp flats with S27 + semi-transparent Coronograph + Ks
Please take lamp flats with S27 + semi-transparent Coronograph + NB2.17

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

```
none
```

Time-Critical Aspects

The astrometric standard binary HIP14464 must be observed in the same
 night as the science targets (Gl86 and HD27442).

Special Execution Requirements

Special Calibration Information

We observe the Hipparcos binary as astrometrical calibration, namely HIP14464
 (two OBs provided).
These stars must be observed together with the science targets.

Daytime Calibration: Lamp Flats with S27 + C_0.7_sem + Ks must be taken
Daytime Calibration: Lamp Flats with S27 + C_0.7_sem + NB2.17 must be taken
