-----
PU Note: 100% of nominal share scheduled.
-----
PU01 = 991PU01 Stra D R (low, high)

-----
UW Note: 100% of nominal share scheduled. NONE of the scheduling
requests were submitted on the current version of the template.
Please see apo35-general message #321 for the current version and
use it in future quarters. Also, for 1Q1999, please send a list
of any "untrained/uncertified" observers associated with any UW
program plus plans for dealing with the issue to me and to APO
ASAP.
-----
UW01 = UW01 Szko D R (high)
UW02 = UW02 Stub S O
Non-block scheduling. See note in BLOCK CAPS just before
schedule below. PU lens monitoring program is being
temporarily suspended after 1/15, so it is not possible to
jointly schedule. Also, time allocated (20h) is not
sufficient for monitoring every 2-3 days through the quarter
and includes no dark time. In addition, Echelle commissioning
(without auto-rotation of tertiary) precludes monitoring on
many dates. No preference stated for which part of the
night. Thus, best attempt to schedule 20h for this program
has been made. Please advise ASAP if it is not useable in
this form. Arrangements for OS data acquisition should be
made with APO staff well in advance.
UW03 = UW03 Rodg D R (high)
Non-block scheduling. See note in BLOCK CAPS just before
schedule below. Only 14 of 20 requested 1 hour monitoring
blocks were scheduled due to Echelle commissioning (see UW02
notes) and collision with UW02 time.
UW04 = UW04 Dier S R
Eight half nights requested in ideal schedule but only five
allocated.
UW05 = UW05 Wyde S R
UW06 = UW06 Toma S R
UW07.S = UW07 Zuck S R
UW07.D = UW07 Zuck D R (low, medium)
UW07.G = UW07 Zuck G R
If Feb. 18 time is too late to be useful, please declare OPEN
ASAP.
UW08 = UW08 Dier G R
Not enough time (15h) allocated to meet requested scheduling
frequency. No preference for part of night stated. Problems
with Echelle commissioning (see UW02 note). Difficult to
schedule a monitoring program at this priority. Best effort
schedule implemented; please advise ASAP if not usefable.
UW09 = UW09 Norm S R
UW10 = UW10 Ande S R
UW11 = UW11 Szko D R (high)
Not scheduled as requested due to priority but scheduled
time appears usable given info in the request. Please
declare OPEN ASAP if it is not.
UW12 = UW12 Dalc S R
Not scheduled as requested due to priority but scheduled
time appears usable given info in the request. Please
declare OPEN ASAP if it is not.
UW13 = UW13 Greb S OT
Not scheduled as requested due to priority but scheduled
time appears usable given info in the request. Please
declare OPEN ASAP if it is not.
UW14 = UW14 Magn D R (low, high)
Not scheduled as requested due to priority but scheduled
time appears usable given info in the request. Please
declare OPEN ASAP if it is not.
-----
WSU Note: 100% of nominal share scheduled. Neither of the scheduling
requests were submitted on the current version of the template.
Please see apo35-general message #321 for the current version and
use it in future quarters. Also, for 1Q1999, please send a list
of any "untrained/uncertified" observers associated with any WSU
program plus plans for dealing with the issue to me and to APO ASAP.
-----
WS01 = WS01 Aust D R (low, medium)
WS02 = WS02 Brow D R (high)
Not scheduled as requested due to priority but scheduled
time appears usable given info in the request. Please
declare OPEN ASAP if it is not. Very heavily constrained
request.
