		REVISED ARC 3.5M SCHEDULE FOR 4TH QUARTER 2001
			     E. TURNER 12/3/01


			NOTES: ***PLEASE READ***

	12/3/01 Note - This revision includes some changes in the pre
	Dec 3 schedule to reflect various trades and changes that have
	already been executed and assigns some of the December DD01 and
	OPEN time to programs from NMSU and UC that have requested them.
	N.B., there are still 4 half nights of DD01 time (12/28-31 first
	halves) and 2 half nights of OPEN time (12/24-25 second halves)
	which may be requested.  Since the earliest of these is only 3
	weeks away, please let me know ASAP.

	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 includes 2 nights
	for on-sky recommissioning and calibration of DIS following its
	upgrade plus an additional 3 nights or routine monthly engineering
	time for a total of 5.4% of the available nights.

	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.

	-----
	EN Note: No science observations scheduled during EN time.

	JHU Note:  100% of nominal share scheduled.
	Time allocations listed 
	in the individual requests do
	not agree with those tabulated in the overall summary.  The same
	problem occurred in the previous three quarters.
	JHU Scheduler - Please edit 
	individual requests to match TAC allocations in the future; this 
	will save me a lot of time and confusion.  Also, please send the
	requests in the order of decreasing priority.

	+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
	+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
	MOST PROGRAMS ARE SCHEDULED IN HALF NIGHT BLOCKS.  THE FIRST HALF OF
	EACH NIGHT EXTENDS FROM -12 DEGREE EVENING TWILIGHT UNTIL 0100 MDT
	OR 0000 MST.  THE SECOND HALF FOLLOWS UNTIL -12 DEGREE MORNING 
	TWILIGHT.

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

	THIS QUARTER ONLY TWO PROGRAMS USE NON-BLOCK SCHEDULING.
	THESE PROGRAMS ARE INDICATED IN PARENTHESES () ON THE SCHEDULE
	AND THEIR TIME ALLOTMENTS ARE LISTED HERE:
	PU05 = 45 MIN EACH TIME SCHEDULED.
	UC08 = 60 MIN BEFORE EVENING -12 DEGREE 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.
