                   ARC 3.5M SCHEDULE FOR 1st QUARTER 2007
                        S.Hawley, R.McMillan 3/15/07

                           NOTES: ***PLEASE READ***

           3/15/07: implemented late quarter time trades

           2/24/07: fixed grating request for UC07

           2/3/07: fixed partial-night programs for Daylight Savings
           Time.

           2/2/07: implemented Daylight Savings Time starting
           March 11 (thanks Craig!).  Put in some already approved
           trades.  There is no OPEN or DD time remaining in the
           2/2/07 version of the schedule.

           12/15/06: implemented trades, assigned OPEN time.  There
           is no OPEN or DD time remaining in the 12/15/06 version
           of the schedule.

           12/13/06: implemented trades, corrected scheduling error,
           assigned DD time.  There are two partial half-nights of
           OPEN time in the 12/13/06 version of the schedule.

           Except in cases where strong science drivers dictate otherwise
           (a minority of cases), observing time has again been scheduled
           in half night blocks.

           There are 90 nights, or 180 half nights, in 1Q2007.  Scheduled
           engineering (routine EN01 time) consists of 5 nights, or 10
           half nights, all bright.  Engineering time comprises 5.6% of
           the total time in 1st quarter 2007.  DD time consists of 11
           half nights, broken up as 3B, 1G, 7D and representing 6.1% of
           the total.

           In addition to scheduled engineering time, science
           observations may be pre-empted, sometimes on short notice, for
           urgent engineering tasks.  Such tasks include both work that
           is required to safeguard observatory personnel or facilities
           and that allows "hot pursuit" of some significant problem.

           Please see links off of the APO home page
           (http://www.apo.nmsu.edu/) for a web based interactive
           version of this schedule.

           There is 1 half-night of OPEN time and 1 half-night of
           unallocated DD time (DD05) in the 12/9/06 version
           of the schedule.

           MOST PROGRAMS ARE SCHEDULED IN HALF NIGHT BLOCKS.  THE
           FIRST HALF OF EACH NIGHT EXTENDS FROM SUNSET UNTIL 0000 MST
           OR 0100 MDT.  THE SECOND HALF FOLLOWS UNTIL SUNRISE.

           FIRST HALF IS INDICATED BELOW AS "A"; THE SECOND, AS "B".

           THIS QUARTER FOUR PROGRAMS USE NON-BLOCK SCHEDULING.

           INSTRUMENT CHANGE TIMES ARE NOT INCLUDED BELOW BUT WILL BE INDICATED
           IN THE SCHEDULE ISSUED FROM APO AND WILL BE SHARED BETWEEN ADJOINING
           PROGRAMS AS USUAL.
