Due to unavailability of observers, UC has declared three half nights
OPEN in the near future: Saturday, 7/29 second half; Sunday, 7/30 first
half; Monday, 7/31 first half.

These are all dark time, and although they immediately follow the
scheduled end of the shutdown, there appears to be relatively little
risk of extension of the shutdown as telescope re-commissioning on
the sky is already well advanced.  Of course, we are in the monsoon
season, so the weather risk is elevated.

Anyone wishing to use this time should notify me AND Bruce Gillespie
at APO ASAP.  Preference will be given to already established and
TAC reviewed programs; however, other programs will be considered.
If you wish to propose a new program, please fill out a scheduling
request on the standard ASCII template including a description of
the program and send it as your request.  If you are requesting
additional time for an already scheduled 3Q program, please identify
it using the schedule program number (e.g., UC04) in your request.

In view of the short notice and in order to streamline the process,
this time will be "charged" as DD time, not to the institution; thus
there is no need to consult your TAC or scheduler in advance.

As I will be traveling tomorrow (Friday), response to requests may
not appear until Friday evening or Saturday morning.  Please be
sure to include good/current contact info for the principle observer(s)
with any requests.
