		REVISED ARC 3.5M SCHEDULE FOR 3RD QUARTER 1999 
				E. TURNER 7/24/99


			NOTES: ***PLEASE READ***

	Small revision affecting only the engineering time on Aug. 3
	and the first half program (UW05) previously scheduled for
	Aug. 7.  HOWEVER, please see the accompanying announcement on
	apo35-general that warns of possible major schedule changes
	between now and Aug. 16.  These may occur on short notice.
	Anyone with observing time in this interval should be alert
	for such changes.

	+++++

	Very small revisions affecting only July 18-19 and August 1.

	+++++

	This second revision of the day fine tunes the first with
	changes on July 11, 15 and 18 affecting UW03, UW02, UC05,
	EN03 and NM06.  I hope we are converging!

	+++++

	This schedule revision includes a moderately complicated set
	of switches involving the nights of July 9, 10, 11, 16, 17,
	18, 25, 26 and 30 as well as those of August 2 and 3.  The
	affected programs include UW03, WS02, UW10, NM06, EN03, JH01,
	UC03, UW02, PU02, JH02, EN02, PU03 and PU04...in roughly that
	order.  The scheduling of all programs is still consistent with
	their stated constraints, but note particularly that some of the
	time for UW03, WS02 and NM06 has been advanced earlier in the
	quarter by as much as one week.  Institutional schedulers, please
	be sure that your affected PIs and observers are cognizant of
	the changes.

	-----
	EN Note: No science observations scheduled during EN time.
	-----
	EN01 = EN01 Gill ? O
		Shutdown for installation of new secondary and other tasks.
	EN02 = EN02 Gill ? O
		Routine periodic engineering time.
	EN03 = EN03 Gill SH O
		Commissioning of Shack-Hartman instrumentation.
	EN04 = EN04 Gill closed O
		Telescope closed.

	-----
	DD Note: Director's Discretionary Time (3%)
	-----
	DD01 = 993DD01 UWGRB S R
		Time will be allocated to compensate programs pre-empted
		by GRB chases.  Data available to all interested parties
		within ARC.

	-----
	JHU Note:  110% of nominal share scheduled.  Half night added
	to JH02.
	-----
	JH01 = 3Q99JH01 Reth E O
		Times but not dates specified in UT; I have assumed that
		dates are also UT.  Please let me know if there are
		problems with this schedule.
	JH02 = 3Q99JH02 McCa E R
	JH03 = 3Q99JH03 Davi D R (low)
	JH04.D = 3Q99JH04 Zhen D R (low)
	JH04.G = 3Q99JH04 Zhen G R

	-----
	NMSU Note: 106% of nominal share scheduled.  Half night added to
	NM02.
	-----
	NM01 = NM01 Marl S R
	NM02 = NM02 Step G O
	NM03.S = NM03 Ledl S O
	NM03.G = NM03 Ledl G O
	NM04 = NM04 Gala S R
	NM05 = NM05 Leeb G R
	NM06 = NM06 Klyp D R (medium)
	NM07 = NM07 Harr E R
	NM08 = NM08 King D/S? O (high)
		Although the requested dates do fall during the shutdown,
		I have scheduled the first half night on 9/15 when the
		targets will be observable at moderate air mass for much
		of the time.  Please declare OPEN ASAP if not usable.

	-----
	PU Note: 106% of nominal share scheduled.  Half night added to
	PU01.
	-----
	PU01 = PU01 Stra D R (low, high)
		Shutdown leaves very few dark/grey second halves in Sept.
		One dark second half scheduled in August.  Please declare
		OPEN ASAP if not usable.
	PU02 = PU02 Turn S O
		Non-block scheduling.  See note in BLOCK CAPS just before 
		schedule below.
	PU03 = PU03 Turn D R (low)
	PU04 = PU04 Infa G R

	-----
	UC Note: 108% of nominal share scheduled.  One half night each
	added to UC02 and UC04.
	-----
	UC01 = 302 York D R (medium)
	UC02 = 304 York E R
	UC03 = 303 Dunc E R
	UC04 = 300 Frie D R (low)
	UC05 = 301 Kent D R (high)
	UC06 = 305 Kent G R
	UC07 = 306 Dunc D R (high)
	UC08 = 299 York ? R
		Adler Planetarium twilight program (not accounted to UC).
		Use instrument mounted for the night's first program.
                Non-block scheduling.  See note in BLOCK CAPS just before
                schedule below.  Both requested dates scheduled.

	-----
	UW Note: 109% of nominal share scheduled.  One half night each
	added to UW03, UW06 and UW08.
	-----
	UW01 = UW01 Szko D R (high)
	UW02 = UW02 Kris S R
		Non-block scheduling.  See note in BLOCK CAPS just before
		schedule below.
		Program requests scheduling adjacent to other programs
		using SPIcam, but there are very few such programs during
		bright time (which accounts for over 70% of the programs
		assigned time), and matching to the few that do is
		inconsistent with the requested spacing of observations.
		So, that constraint has been ignored.  Note also that more
		bright time was assigned to the program than required to
		achieve the requested sampling rate, but not enough grey
		and dark time.
	UW03 = UW03 Wyde S R
	UW04 = UW04 Greb S R
	UW05 = UW05 Gonz E R
	UW06 = UW06 Marg D R (low)
	UW07 = UW07 Ande D R (low)
		Darkest time available subject to RA constraints and priority
		scheduled.  Please declare OPEN ASAP if not usable.
	UW08.G = UW08 Zuck G R
	UW08.S = UW08 Zuck S R
	UW09 = UW09 Dalc S R
	UW10 = UW10 Szko D R (low, high)
	UW11 = UW11 Stub VisFTS O
		These observations involve the use of visitor instruments.
                The time is scheduled contingent upon the PI obtaining
	        Bruce Gillespie's explicit agreement that all the technical
	        and logistical arrangements involving the instrument are
		satisfactory at least 10 days prior to the scheduled
 	        observations.

	-----
	WSU Note: 114% of nominal share scheduled.  Half night added to
	WS01.
	-----
	WS01 = WS01 Brow E R
	WS02 = WS02 Aust D R (low, medium)
	
	
	+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
	+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
	MOST PROGRAMS ARE SCHEDULED IN HALF NIGHT BLOCKS.  THE FIRST HALF OF
	EACH NIGHT EXTENDS FROM EVENING TWILIGHT (SEE CALENDAR DISTRIBUTED
	BY GRETCHEN) UNTIL 0110 MDT.

	FIRST HALF IS INDICATED BELOW AS "A"; THE SECOND HALF THEN 
	EXTENDS UNTIL MORNING TWILIGHT AND IS INDICATED BELOW AS "B".

	THIS QUARTER THREE DIFFERENT PROGRAMS USE NON-BLOCK SCHEDULING.
	THESE PROGRAMS ARE INDICATED IN PARENTHESES () ON THE SCHEDULE
	AND THEIR TIME ALLOTMENTS ARE LISTED HERE:
	PU02 = 40 MIN EACH TIME SCHEDULED.
	UC08 = 90 MIN IN TWILIGHT EACH TIME SCHEDULED.
	UW02 = 60 MIN EACH TIME SCHEDULED.

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