All: Ed Turner and I are sending this late, last request for science programs to run on the 3.5-meter telescope on New Year's Eve, this Friday night. From roughly 9 pm MST through the rest of the night, the telescope is presently unallocated. The weather forecast is good, and the telescope and instruments are all behaving well. The moon rises about 2:30 AM, so much of this time is dark and the rest grey. Service observing requests are fine (possibly the only observing mode if there are telecommunication problems related to Y2K). Also, this time will be assigned as Director's Discretionary time, so no institutional allocations will be impacted. Send your requests directly to me (gillespi@apo.nmsu.edu) and Ed Turner (elt@astro.princeton.edu, and also at elt49@yahoo.com) as soon as possible. best regards, and happy holidays; Bruce Gillespie, and Ed Turner APO APO APO APO APO Apache Point Observatory 3.5m APO APO APO APO APO This is message 409 in the apo35-general archive.
