		REVISED ARC 3.5M SCHEDULE FOR 2ND QUARTER 2001
			     E. TURNER 6/1/01


			NOTES: ***PLEASE READ***

	6/1/01 Note: The only changes are internal UW swaps amongst UW02,
	UW04 and UW06; an instrument change for NM05; and the assignment
	of some OPEN and DD01 time in June to DD04 and DD05 (two new
	programs).

	Except in cases where strong science drivers dictate otherwise
	(a minority of cases), observing time has again been scheduled
	in half night blocks.  
	
	Scheduled engineering time for this quarter amounts to 7 nights.
	Thus, it will be at approximately the 8% level.

	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.

	DD01 is a set aside of three bright half nights of observing time
	for rapid follow-up of targets identified by the SDSS or for other
	quick response target-of-opportunity programs.

	ACCOUNTING NOTE: WSU sold 6 half nights (D and G) of its time to
	PUO for 2Q2001.  These programs are identified as PU time in this
	schedule.

	Please see links off of the APO home page (http://www.apo.nmsu.edu/)
	for a web based interactive version of this schedule.

                These observations involve the use of a visitor instrument.
                The time is scheduled contingent upon the PI obtaining
                Bruce Gillespie's explicit agreement that all the technical
                and logistical arrangements involving the instrument are
                satisfactory at least 10 days prior to the scheduled
                observations.

	Time allocations listed 
	in the individual requests do
	not agree with those tabulated in the overall summary.
	JHU Scheduler - please edit 
	individual requests to match TAC allocations in the future; this 
	will save me a lot of time and confusion.

		This is a TOO program which may pre-empt other programs
		on VERY short notice (minutes) in order to obtain very
		early GRB afterglow observations; details of procedures
		will be announced seperately at a later date.  No time
		assigned in this schedule.

                These observations involve the use of a visitor instrument.
                The time is scheduled contingent upon the PI obtaining

		Requested time is of the most in-demand type this quarter
		and is not available at this priority.  The time actually
		scheduled may or may not be useful; constraints were not
		sufficiently detailed for me to judge.  If assigned time
		is not useful, please assign to another UC program or
		declare OPEN.  In either case, please inform me ASAP.
	UC06 = 361 York S/G/D/E R
		Adler Planetarium twilight program (not accounted to UC).
		Use instrument mounted for the night's first program.

		Could not schedule exactly as requested due to low priority,
		but a reasonable approximation attempted.  If any of the
		assigned time is not useful, please assign to another UW
		program or declare OPEN and inform me ASAP.
	UW11 = UW11 Rest S R
		Due to low priority only one half night appeared to satisfy
		requirements and assigned.  The other allocated half night
		was not assigned.  If the assigned time is not useful, please
		give to another UW program or declare OPEN and inform me
		ASAP.

	+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
	+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
	MOST PROGRAMS ARE SCHEDULED IN HALF NIGHT BLOCKS.  THE FIRST HALF OF
	EACH NIGHT EXTENDS FROM -12 DEGREE EVENING TWILIGHT UNTIL 0100 MDT.
	THE SECOND HALF FOLLOWS UNTIL -12 DEGREE MORNING TWILIGHT.

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

	THIS QUARTER TWO DIFFERENT PROGRAMS USE NON-BLOCK SCHEDULING.
	THESE PROGRAMS ARE INDICATED IN PARENTHESES () ON THE SCHEDULE
	AND THEIR TIME ALLOTMENTS ARE LISTED HERE:
	PU05 = 30 MIN EACH TIME SCHEDULED.
	UC06 = 60 MIN IN TWILIGHT EACH TIME SCHEDULED.

	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.
