General Description

Main goal is to perform IR/X-ray simultaneous high-time resolution observations.
 Calibration of fast atmospheric variability will be performed by using one or more
 stars in the FoV.  Depending on the distance of the nearest star from the target
 we will choose and communicate which OBs to use on a nightly basis. The FoV will
 be then centered such as to include both the target and at least one bright star.

We request 5 consecutive nights of observation of this run. We do not expect trigger
 strategy to change from night-to-night, however in case it does (e.g. the source
 becomes too bright or too faint suddenly), we will contact the observing astronomer.

Waiver Requests

A Waiver has been granted for the execution of 100-minute long OBs. The
 waiver was requested on 27th July 2007. Waiver was received on the same day. 
In case the observing conditions change during an OB we request to finish the OB.
 We will perform analysis in the frequency domain, integrating over the whole OB.
 The lenght of the OB and the simultaneity with X-ray observations are thus more
 important issues than the S/N in a single exposure and the angular resolution.

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

```
None.
```

Time-Critical Aspects

OBs to be performed simultaneously with X-ray observations. We will contact
 the support staff right after the ToO activation.

Special Execution Requirements

```
N/A.
```

Special Calibration Information

```
N/A.
```

ToO Information

ToO observations will be triggered based on optical, near-IR or X-ray
 observations of the source using other telescopes/satellite based missions.
