  Based on what has been learned with the first high β* = 90 m operation in 2011, we describe the potential and practical scenarios for reaching very high β* in the LHC in 2012 and beyond. Very high β* optics require dedicated running time and conditions in the LHC. We describe a plan which is optimized to maximize the physics potential in a minimum of dedicated running time.
