		REVISED ARC 3.5M SCHEDULE FOR 4TH QUARTER 2003
			     E. TURNER 9/29/03


			NOTES: ***PLEASE READ***

	9/29 Note - Minor changes affecting only JH01, JH02, NM08 and
	UC07.

	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 5 nights
	of routine maintenance (EN01) or 5.4% 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.

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

	There is no OPEN time in the present version of the schedule.

	+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
	+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
	MOST PROGRAMS ARE SCHEDULED IN HALF NIGHT BLOCKS.  THE FIRST HALF OF
	EACH NIGHT EXTENDS FROM -12 DEGREE EVENING TWILIGHT UNTIL 0050 MDT OR
	2350 MST.  THE SECOND HALF FOLLOWS UNTIL -12 DEGREE MORNING TWILIGHT.

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

	THIS QUARTER NO PROGRAMS USES NON-BLOCK SCHEDULING.

	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.
