Note: revised schedules are posted frequently on the APO website, but
only sent by email a couple of times per quarter. Please check the
website for the most up-to-date version.
There are 3 remaining DD half nights in December 2008, on 12/20B, 12/24B,
and 12/25A. I am planning to use the Christmas eve and Christmas half
nights for engineering unless I receive urgent science requests. The
12/20B half night is grey time that is still open. Please send requests
for DD time to me soon (email address above).

ARC 3.5M SCHEDULE FOR 4th QUARTER 2008
S.Hawley, R.McMillan 11/24/08
NOTES: ***PLEASE READ***
11/24/08 -- time trades implemented and OPEN time assigned.
There are 3 DD half nights (DD07) unallocated in the 11/24/08
version of the schedule.
10/30/08 -- assigned some DD and OPEN time. 3 DD half nights
(DD07) and 1 OPEN half night remain unallocated in the
10/30/08 version of the schedule.
10/22/08 -- implemented trades, scheduled some OPEN time.
There are 3 half nights of OPEN time and 5 half nights of
DD time (DD06) in the 10/22/08 version of the Q4 schedule.
9/25/08 -- implemented time trades, scheduled some OPEN and
DD05 time, unscheduled DD now DD06.
9/18/08 -- scheduled DD04 time, unscheduled DD now DD05.
9/10/08 -- scheduled DD03 time, unscheduled DD now DD04.
9/9/08 -- corrected typos, scheduled some DD time.
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 4Q2008. Scheduled
engineering EN01 time consists of 5 nights, or 10 half
nights, all bright, comprising 6.2% of the total. DD time
consists of 15 half nights, divided as 8B, 1G, 6D and
representng 8.2% of the total. Computing 184 - 10 - 15 leaves
159 half nights for allocation by the institutions, which
break down as 57B, 33G and 69D.
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 10 half-nights of
unallocated DD time (DD03) in the 9/8/08 version of the
schedule.

MOST PROGRAMS ARE SCHEDULED IN HALF NIGHT BLOCKS. THE FIRST
HALF OF EACH NIGHT EXTENDS FROM SUNSET UNTIL 0100 MDT. THE
SECOND HALF FOLLOWS UNTIL SUNRISE. AFTER DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME
ENDS ON NOV 1, THE CHANGEOVER WILL OCCUR AT 0000 MST.
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.
