General Description

We would like observe  the binary HD113449 with AMBER in the low-resolution
 mode.
The separtion of the binary is so small that it will be resolved only with AMBER
 (approx 40 mas). The orbital period is 215 days. The aim is to determine the visual
 orbit of the binary.
Thus, the two observation should be separted by several month so that we get two
 different orbital phases. For example, if one observation is in April and one in
 June would be perfect.

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

For AMBER observations, a seeing of 1.2 arcsec or better is prefered,
 so that the AO-system works. The observation can also be carried out under conditions
 worse than that if the AO-loop can be closed.

Time-Critical Aspects

The two observations of the HD113449 should be separted by several month,
 because the orbital period of the binary is 215 days. It would be ideal if one observation
 is taken in April, and the other in June. The larger the separtion, the better.
