General Description

Simple imaging of bright A-type stars to search for companions.
Fnding charts have not been submitted (waiver request 079.D-0537A.01.WAV), but the
 targets 
are easy to identify as they are the brightest in the field of view.

Request to the Night Astronomer: Please CHECK that the peak intensity is within
the linearity range of the detector. (DITs have been calculated accordingly, but
 they
are of course depending on the conditions). Thank you.

Targets and their K-band magnitudes:

Have you included OBs for any calibrations that you need but which are not part of the Calibration Plan ?

```
N/A

```
N/A
```

If you have preferences which OBs should be executed first, did you make use of the User Priority field in the OBs ?

```
N/A

N/A
```

If you have PSF reference star OBs, do the names of those OBs begin with PSF_ ?

```
N/A
```

If there are Finding Charts attached to your OBs, is the field-of-view of at least one of these charts 2' x 2' (with clearly labelled field orientation) ?
