Message number: 293 (previous: 292, next: 294 up: Index)

This message describes the allocation of the remaining 3Q1998 OPEN time
as follows:

1) 8/31A is assigned to JH02 (PI=Tzve) in compensation for the time the
   program lost on 8/1A due to extension of the shutdown.

2) Bad weather has prevented the final on-sky engineering observations needed
   to return the telescope to science operations so far.  August 6 science
   programs have been canceled.  The weather appears more promising for
   tonight, but it is far from certain when science operations can begin.

3) There are 6 OPEN half nights on the schedule during the nights of August
   7-10, inclusive.  In addition, the EN01 time on August 11 may be declared
   OPEN if it is not needed following the current extended period of
   engineering work.

4) When the telescope is ready to begin science operations, these OPEN half
   nights will be allocated to those programs which have already lost time
   since August 1 due to the extended shutdown.  This will be done on short
   notice, perhaps with less than 24 hours notice.  Those associated with
   these programs (JH02, UW03, JH01, UW09, UW08, NM06 and UW13) are on the
   distribution list of this message and should "stand-by" for notification
   of allocated time (on a first refusal basis, of course).

5) In my absence (vacation), Bruce Gileespie will make these allocations
   according to a prescription which I have discussed with him.  All 
   communications re this remaining OPEN time should be directed to Bruce,
   with copies to me and to Gretchen.

Your patience with the disruptions produced by our attempts to come out of
shutdown mode during an uncommonly bad monsoon season are appreciated.
