 **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. 
+•       Non-coronagraphic observations using filed stabilized mode.
