Dear MDI Operations Coordinators,

although the MDI will we in a keyhole in November we would like to
ask if it would be possible to support or g-b observing campaign
described below with the corresponding MDI measurements. Here follow 
the details.

Our team has been granted by the observing time for the following
VTT/Tenerife (Canary Island, Spain) observing campaign for the time 
interval November 16-26, 2006.

- title:  Spectroscopy of the quiet solar photosphere: properties
          of the shocks and location of the acoustic flux generation

- period: 2006.11.16-2006.11.26 (16 days)

- leader : Ales Kucera (akucera@astor.sk)
- coordinator of the MDI support: Jan Rybak (choc@astro.sk)

- proposal: http://www.astro.sk/~choc/open/06_opticon_vtt/proposal/
                   kucera_vtt_2006_proposal.pdf

- campaign approved and granted by the observing time of VTT:
  VTT schedule: http://www.kis.uni-freiburg.de/obsvtt/vttplan2006.pdf

- targets: quit sun near the disk center or at mju up to 0.5,
           target selected day in advance according to actual situation on
           the Sun

- MDI data of interest: - FD or HR magnetograms (1 per minute) +
			- WL context images (higher cadence than 96 minutes)

      - selection between the FD and HR mode would be done in advance
        depending on the actual activity situation on the Sun
      - in case of FR mode we would prefer E-W elongated MDI FOV			

- MDI period requested: 18/11-26/11/2006

- MDI time requested: each day from 08:00 till 12:00 UT if possible

Operation of the campaign will be performed directly at Tenerife at
the VTT but using my home email address choc@astro.sk.

We understand that several technical limitations and other requests
can seriously limit your possibilities to joint with your MDI data
our g-b campaign. Nevertheless your B_long magnetograms would be very
helpful for our work.

Looking forward to hear from you whether you can support our g-b
observations and with many thanks beforehand

Jan Rybak
