	PARTIAL PRELIMINARY APO 3.5M SCHEDULE FOR 4TH QUARTER 1998
			     E. TURNER 9/25/98


			NOTES: ***PLEASE READ***

	This is a partial version of the preliminary 4Q schedule covering
	only the first 12 nights of the quarter (10/1-12).  I hope to have
	the preliminary schedule for all of 4Q out early next week.

	I apologize for the very late appearance of the 4Q schedule and
	for any inconveniences it may cause.  The explanations are several
	other obligations over the last few weeks, an attempt to adjust
	the schedule for the possible installation of the Echelle in the
	November bright run (!), some last minute issues in the OS work
	schedule and, of course, my own sloth.

	-----
	EN Note: No science observations scheduled during EN time.
	-----
	EN01 = Periodic engineering time (Gillespie)
	EN02 = Maintenance shutdown (Gillespie)

	-----
	NMSU Note:   
	-----
	NM04 = NM04 King D O (high)

	-----
	PU Note: 
	-----
	PU01 = 984PU01 Turn S O
		Non-block scheduling.  See note in BLOCK CAPS just before 
		schedule below.
		[NOT THE CURRENT VERSION OF THE REQUEST TEMPLATE; SEE 
		APO35-GENERAL MESSAGE #2898]

	-----
	UC Note: 
	-----
	UC02 = 270 York D R (any)
		The discussion of observing schedule constraints in this
		request could be read as implying non-block scheduling,
		but it is not very clear and since half nights are also
		explicitly mentioned, this is what has been scheduled.
		Also, OS participation in data acquisition and/or reduction
		must be arranged and agreed on by all concerned well in
		advance; it cannot be simply welcomed/requested/assumed
		in the proposal.
		[NOT THE CURRENT VERSION OF THE REQUEST TEMPLATE; SEE
		APO35-GENERAL MESSAGE #289]
	UC08 = 268 Kron D R (low)

	-----
	UW Note: 
	-----
	UW01 = UW01 Szko D R (high)
		TAC allocated 4 B half nights but the scientific constraints
		of coordinating with spacecraft observation of the targets
		requires assignment of 1 B, 2 G and 1 D half nights.  The
		latter has been scheduled due to the high priority of the
		program, but this throws the overall UW request out of
		B/G/D balance.
	UW03 = UW03 Dalc G R
		Note that participation of a "certified" remote observer in
		all remote observations is required.  See explanatory notes
		#2 and #3 in apo35-general message #289 for further info.
		A statement of how these constraints will be met should be
		sent to me with a copy to Bruce Gillespie.
