		REVISED ARC 3.5M SCHEDULE FOR 2ND QUARTER 2002
			     E. TURNER 5/28/02


			NOTES: ***PLEASE READ***

	5/28/02 NOTE - OPEN and DD time in June is assigned to JH02 and
	DD04 (Strauss, PI), respectively.  In addition, UC05 has been
	inserted into the schedule as a TOO program in response to an
	AGN undergoing a TeV flare.  Programs losing time to UC05 are
	UC01, PU02, PU03, CU03, UW07 and NM03.  Some DD time remains
	available during the first halves of June 28 and 30.  Please send
	requests for this time ASAP.

	3/21/02 NOTE - The only chages affect PU05 & PU07, UW06 & UW09
	and a new program, DD03.  Note that the changes for the PU 
	programs affect the next two nights in the first half, 4/22 and
	4/23.

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

	Scheduled engineering time for this quarter consists of 6 nights
	of routine maintenance (EN01) or 6.6% of the total available time.

	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.

	Note that no grating selections have been listed for DIS2 programs
	because the new detectors make most of the old configurations
	unlikely choices (non-optimal).  An attempt to converge on some new
	standard configurations is underway.  Stay tuned!  And please make
	sure to communicate with your OS well in advance about DIS2 grating
	your grating configuration requests.

	DD01 is a set aside of 5 half nights  (1B/2G/2D) of observing time
	for rapid follow-up of targets identified by the SDSS or for other
	quick response target-of-opportunity programs.  These nights may
	be used to "compensate" regularly scheduled programs that are
	displaced by TOO programs etc.

	There are 3 half nights of OPEN dark time in the current schedule.
	Please send me requests *via* your institutional scheduler asap.  
	These five half nights are in a single block in mid-June, the second
	halves of 6/13-15, inclusive.

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

	MOST PROGRAMS ARE SCHEDULED IN HALF NIGHT BLOCKS.  THE FIRST HALF OF
	EACH NIGHT EXTENDS FROM -12 DEGREE EVENING TWILIGHT UNTIL  0000 MST
	OR 0100 MDT.  THE SECOND HALF FOLLOWS UNTIL -12 DEGREE MORNING 
	TWILIGHT.

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

	THIS QUARTER TWO DIFFERENT PROGRAMS USE NON-BLOCK SCHEDULING.
	THESE PROGRAMS ARE INDICATED IN PARENTHESES () ON THE SCHEDULE
	AND THEIR TIME ALLOTMENTS ARE LISTED HERE:
	PU03 = 30 MIN EACH TIME SCHEDULED.
	UC06 = FROM SUNSET UNTIL -12 DEGREE EVENING TWILIGHT EACH TIME 
	       SCHEDULED.

	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.
