                    ARC 3.5M SCHEDULE FOR 3rd QUARTER 2007
                         S.Hawley, R.McMillan 9/18/07

                            NOTES: ***PLEASE READ***

            9/18/07: OPEN time assigned.  No remaining OPEN or
            DD time in the 9/18/07 version of the schedule.

            9/17/07: NICFPS is not available for the rest of Q3 2007.
            Affected programs have been reassigned. There are 2 half
            nights of OPEN time (9/23B, 9/25B) in the 9/17/07
            version of the schedule.  Please contact Suzanne Hawley
            by return email if you wish to use this time.

            7/20/07: implemented trades affecting PU03, PU04, NM02, NM06

            6/30/07: implemented trades.  There is 1 half night
            of unscheduled DD03 time remaining in the 6/30/07
            version of the schedule.

            6/25/07: implemented trades and assigned DD time.  There
            is 1 half night of unscheduled DD03 time remaining in
            the 6/25/07 version of the schedule.

            6/17/07: assigned OPEN and DD time.  There are 3 half nights
            of unscheduled DD03 time remaining in the 6/17/07 version
            of the schedule.

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

            There are 92 nights, or 184 half nights, in 3Q2007.
            Scheduled engineering (routine EN01) time (July 26-27)
            consists of 3 half nights, all bright.  Shutdown for the
            primary mirror aluminization and other assorted maintenance
            tasks (Aug 20 - Sep 16) is 28 nights, or 56 half nights,
            comprising (basically) a full lunation.  Engineering time
            thus consists of 59/184 = 32.1% of the total time in 3rd
            quarter 2007.  DD time consists of 9 half nights,
            representing 4.9% of the total time.  Computing 184-59-9
            leaves 116 half nights for allocation by the institutions.

            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 are 6 half-nights of OPEN time and 6 half-nights of
            unallocated DD time (DD02) in the 6/14/07 version of
            the schedule.

            MOST PROGRAMS ARE SCHEDULED IN HALF NIGHT BLOCKS.  THE FIRST
            HALF OF EACH NIGHT EXTENDS FROM SUNSET UNTIL 0105 MDT.  THE
            SECOND HALF FOLLOWS UNTIL SUNRISE.

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

            THIS QUARTER THREE PROGRAMS USE 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.
