In recent VLTI/MIDI observations (see Leão et al. [Astron. Astrophys. 466, L1 (2007)] for more details), we collected N-band dispersed (7.5–13.5 μm, λλ=230) visibilities of RY Sgr using two telescope pairs: UT1–UT4 and UT3–UT4. We obtained 5 different baselines with 7 runs (see Fig. 1) under rather good atmospheric conditions. The data represent a snapshot obtained within June 2005.
