Unless there are unexpected developments in the final stages of the repair 
of the azimuth drives, the 3.5m should be ready to go back on the sky 
tomorrow (Wed, 12/11) night.  Roughly the first half of the night will be 
required for on-sky engineering befoer the telescope is ready for science 
operations.  Thus, if all goes well and the weather cooperates, science 
operations will resume with the scheduled UW05 program.  If things go 
particularly smoothly, there is some possibility of a fragment of time for 
the UW04 program near the end of the first half.  The observers for those 
two programs will want to stay in contact with the scheduled Observing 
Specialists to follow last minute developments and scheduling.
