                   ARC 3.5M SCHEDULE FOR 3rd QUARTER 2007
                        S.Hawley, R.McMillan 6/14/07

                           NOTES: ***PLEASE READ***


           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 92 nights, or 184 half nights, in 3Q2007.
           Scheduled engineering (routine EN01) time (July 26-27)
           consists of 3 half nights, all bright.  Shutdown for the
           primary mirror aluminization and other assorted maintenance
           tasks (Aug 20 - Sep 16) is 28 nights, or 56 half nights,
           comprising (basically) a full lunation.  Engineering time
           thus consists of 59/184 = 32.1% of the total time in 3rd
           quarter 2007.  DD time consists of 9 half nights,
           representing 4.9% of the total time.  Computing 184-59-9
           leaves 116 half nights for allocation by the institutions.

           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 are 6 half-nights of OPEN time and 6 half-nights of
           unallocated DD time (DD02) in the 6/14/07 version of
           the schedule.

           MOST PROGRAMS ARE SCHEDULED IN HALF NIGHT BLOCKS.  THE FIRST
           HALF OF EACH NIGHT EXTENDS FROM SUNSET UNTIL 0105 MDT.  THE
           SECOND HALF FOLLOWS UNTIL SUNRISE.

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

           THIS QUARTER THREE 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.
