General Description

• - target Star: PDS 70 
  - reference star HD 163376
  - OB timing:
  
  PDS70SIC(1 and 2) priority 1
  PSF_HD163376SIC (ref) priority 2
  PDS70PAH2(1 and 2) priority 3
  PSF_HD163376PAH2 (ref) priority 4
  
  The target seems to be the brightest in the FOV (5'x 5').
  The N magnitude of the target is 5.49
  
  The telescope guide star for PDS 70:
  alpha: 14 08 19.687
  delta: -41 24 13.93
  
  The calibrator ( HD163376 ) was chosen to have a same parallactic angle, 
  then the sequence target - ref was chosen for this idea
  - first PDS 70 observation with the two OB
  - finaly the PSF observation with one OB.
  - this is the same thing for the two filters

  ********************************
     The goal of the project
  ********************************
  
  The main goal of this observation is to detect the warm dust disk in N band around
   PDS 70,
  this disk was already detected with the NACO instrument in Ks band (Riaud et al.
   2006).
  Secondly, SiC/PAH2 filters allow the possibility to increase detectivity with differential
   mode
  and provides a first estimation of amorphous silicate disk content.
