	We would like to observe AB Aurigae using MIRC-6T.		We would like to observe AB Aurigae using MIRC-6T (V=7.1, H=5.1). The target is very high priority, so we should record data even if we have only some of the baselines. The fringe contrast might be quite low.
	I propose the following setup, which would require ~~one~~ POP ~~change after~~ LST 03:43 (times computed with ASPRO2 for 2011/12/02).
