General Description

• Run H with triplet D0H0G1
  
  Our principal aim is to image the surface of VX Sgr.
  
  We want to observe VX Sgr at two different epochs:
  1st) A0D0H0(1.5h), D0H0G1(1.5h, negative HR), E0G0H0(1.5h), D0H0G1(1.5h, positve
   HR) between May 24 and June 7 in the second halfs of the nights 
  2nd) E0G0H0(1.5h), D0H0G1(1.5h, negative HR), A0K0G1(1.5h), D0H0G1(1.5h, positve
   HR) between July 3 and July 11 in the second halfs of the nights
  
  We want to use FINITO on the triplets: A0D0H0 with seeing <= 0.8 (approved by
   the waiver team),  E0G0H0 with seein <=1.0 (as requested in phase 1). If the
   conditions
  are very good (seeing <=0.6) we would like to use FINITO also with D0H0G1 triplet.
   For this purpose I have prepared two OBs, one with FINITO and one without.
  
  Only three different configurations are available during the two epochs. We would
   increase our time constraint from 10 to 14 days. If the configuration schedule changes
   and it is faisable, we would like to use also the triplet A0K0G1 in first period
   and triplet A0D0H0 in second period (as required in phase 1). Otherwise, we would
   use the allocated time left (2 x 1.5h) to observe again with D0H0G1 triplet as indicated
   above.
  Thank you.
