Plans are under way to create a new way of performing non-interactive observations which will be called auto-observing . ... Non-interactive observing with CIMA has for a long time been available with the use of CIMA command files. Contrary to normal command file observing which requires a command file with a set of commands to be executed sequentially, auto-observing will use a list of sources and a list of instructions on how to observe each of the sources. ...

... From the peculiar shape of the light curve in the visible spectral region (a long phase interval of light constancy was observed by Hensberge et al. in 1981 ), HD 56022 had been expected to show unambiguously the nonequatorial symmetry of its surface brightness distribution. However, analysis of the light curve has yielded a possible equatorial position of a spot. ... A solution seems only possible, if the light constancy over the long phase interval in the visible is not observed in the UV. ...
