+•       Nighttime Calibration Data required: none
 
 **Procedure**
-•       ?
+•       We observe for more than 1 hour the star with the LSS observing mode. 
+* We alternate the position of the slits from the position of the companion to outside the companion position to be able to create a library of images to be used to subtract the speckles. 
+* An observation of the star without the coronagraphic mask is also requested to allow a proper flux calibration. 
+* Also, we need observation of a standard star to be able to properly reduce the telluric lines. 
+* The observation is performed in field stabilized mode.
