Dear TRACE colleagues,

on behalf of our team I would like to ask you for the TRACE support of the following 
g-b VTT/Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain) observing campaigns, if other requests for
the support will allow it:

- titles:  1/ Dynamic fibrils in the upper photosphere, chromosphere and above.
           2/ Spectroscopy of the quiet solar photosphere: properties of the shocks 
              and the acoustic flux generation.

- period: 2008.05.28-2006.06.07 

- leaders : Ales Kucera (akucera@astor.sk) and Jan Rybak (choc@astro.sk)
- coordinator of the TRACE support: Jan Rybak (choc@astro.sk)

- web page of the campaigns: http://www.astro.sk/~choc/open/08_vtt/08_vtt.html

- proposals: at http://www.astro.sk/~choc/open/open/08_vtt/proposals/
                kucera_vtt_2008_opticon_proposal.pdf  and
                rybak_vtt_2008_opticon_proposal.pdf

- targets: targets selected day in advance according to actual situation on
           the Sun: 1/ dynamic fibrils near ARs or pronounced network
                    2/ center-to-limb position along equator in the quiet Sun
	   	 
- procedure: - sequences of 171 A images 
               interrupted with a set of WL, 1600A, Lyman alpha images every ~10
               minutes for context,
             - exposure time specified using the automatic mode
             - 1024x1024 or 512x512 images

- TRACE period requested: 28/5-07/06/2008

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

For the next 2 days we have in mind to follow the AR 10997 (as Hinode is
planning too). For tomorrow it seems that position X=+300, Y=-100 (07 UT)
would be ok. If our rqquest is too late forget for tomorrow, just let us\
know if we can get your support for next days.

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

At first I have checked your TRACE future observing plans
http://chippewa.nascom.nasa.gov/TRACE/current_plan.txt without any
other program. Of course, some other colleagues could recognize the same...

Looking forward to hear from you whether you can support our g-b
observations with your superb TRACE images again and with many
thanks beforehand.
