		REVISED ARC 3.5M SCHEDULE FOR 3RD QUARTER 2002
			     E. TURNER 6/18/02


			NOTES: ***PLEASE READ***

	6/18/02 NOTE - There was a transcription error between my
	handwritten original of the preliminary 3Q schedule and the
	ascii version; it is corrected here.  The affected programs
	are NM05, UC02 and UW03 on 7/5-6 and 7/12-13.  There are no
	other changes.

	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 2 nights
	of routine maintenance (EN01) or 2.2% of the total available time.
	A summer shutdown for re-aluminization of the primary, work on the
	enclosure shutters and many other tasks is scheduled for 46 nights
	or exactly 50% of the quarter.

	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.

	-----
	EN Note: No science observations scheduled during EN time.
	-----
	EN01 = EN01 Gill ? O
		Routine periodic engineering time.
	EN02 = EN02 Klae NA NA
		Summer shutdown.

	-----
	DD Note: Director's Discretionary Time (2.2% of total time)
	-----
	DD01 = 023DD01 Wodd FabPer O

	-----
	CU Note: 100% of nominal share scheduled.
	-----
	CU01 = CU01 Elli D O (Blow-Rmedium)
	CU02 = CU02 Mors E O?
	CU03 = CU03 Hear S/G O

	-----
	JHU Note:  100% of nominal share scheduled.
	-----
	JH01 = 1 Zhen G/S R
		I could not understand the implications of the email,
		forwarded separately from the main request, which indicated
		the possibile acceptability of time "right before Sep 13", so
		I ignored it.
	JH02 = 2 Sonn E R
	JH03 = 3 Hoop D R (high, medium)
		Please use the current version of the scheduling form.
	JH04 = 4 Glaz E O
		Very short notice (minutes) TOO program which may interupt
		scheduled programs virtually without warning, if triggererd.

	-----
	NMSU Note: 108% of nominal share scheduled; extra time assigned to
		   NM05.
	-----
	NM01 = NM01 Walt D O (Rhigh)
	NM02 = NM02 Harr D R (Rhigh, medium)
	NM03 = NM03 McGe D O (medium, low)
	NM04 = NM04 Gold S/D O (NA)
	NM05 = NM05 Moor D R (Blow-Rmedium)

	-----
	PU Note: 108% of nominal share scheduled; extra time assigned to
	PU02.
	-----
	PU01 = PU01 Pind D R (low)
	PU02 = PU02 Stra D R (high)
	PU03 = PU03 Loh S R
	PU04 = PU04 Turn S O
	PU05 = PU05 Hall D R (medium)
	PU06 = PU06 Blak G R?

	-----
	UC Note: 100% of nominal share scheduled.  Scheduling arrangements
	for UC01, UC02 and UC04 are unconventional and somewhat unclear; I
	have taken my best guess at what you wanted.
	-----
	UC01 = 398 Lamb D/S/E O/R (medium)
		No time has been explicitly scheduled for this program; I
		am assuming that up to 4 nights scheduled for UC02 will be
		used as swap time if UC01 activates its TOO time.  That is
		my best guess at the intention of the TAC which allocated
		15+4+4 half nights although the UC allotment was only 19
		half nights.  It would be best to discuss such unconventional
		allocations with me in advance so that I can understand
		the plan more clearly.
	UC02 = 397 York E/D R (NA)
		See my notes re UC01.  I am assuming that time scheduled for
		UC02 will be re-allocated to UC04 and, if it activates for
		a TOO, also UC01.
	UC03 = 396 Frie D R (setup-1)
	UC04 = 399 York E/D/G/S R (NA)
		See my notes re UC01.  I am assuming that time scheduled for
		UC02 will be re-allocated to UC04 at some point.

	-----
	UW Note: 100% of nominal share scheduled.
	-----
	UW01 = UW01 Stub D/S/G O (low)
	UW02 = UW02 Ande D R (low)
		Why was this program allocated bright time when it requested
		dark/grey but UW05 was allocated dark time which does not
		exist within its schedule constraints?  It may be that both
		programs would benefit from internal UW swaps.
	UW03 = UW03 Hawl D R (Rmedium)
	UW04 = UW04 Szko D R (high)
	UW05 = UW05 Stub D/S/G R (low)
		Time could not be scheduled as requested at this priority;
		all its bright time was assigned during Sept 18-26 but not
		in whole night blocks.  Some of its assigned dark time was
		converted to bright within this interval (which contains no
		dark time!) and some was assigned earlier in Sept.
		Why was this program allocated dark time that does not exist
		within its schedule constraints while UW02 was allocated
		bright time when it requested dark/grey time?  It may be that
		both programs would benefit from internal UW swaps.

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

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

	THIS QUARTER ONE PROGRAM USES NON-BLOCK SCHEDULING.
	THIS PROGRAM IS INDICATED IN PARENTHESES () ON THE SCHEDULE
	AND ITS TIME ALLOTMENTS ARE LISTED HERE:
	PU04 = 40 MIN 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.
