Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
AMBER observations of the PN Menzel 3 that has already been observed by
MIDI.
The goal is to observe an edge-on disk (PA of long axis, 91 degree E from N). The
target should be observed as late as possible in order to put the long projected
baselines perpendicular to the disk, and the smaller one almost aligned.
The appearance of Mz3 in the visible is slighly dominated by the core, but it should
be stressed that the core dominates entirely the emission from H to N band (checked
with NACO observing program 077.D-193 E-F).
The V magnitude of M2-9 is 13.9 and no pointing problems were reported when this
objected was observed by MIDI (077.D-193)

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 ?
Did you check that your chosen calibrator is bright enough for the instrument
mode used ?
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 ?
