REVISED ARC 3.5M SCHEDULE FOR 4TH QUARTER 2003
E. TURNER 9/29/03
NOTES: ***PLEASE READ***
9/29 Note - Minor changes affecting only JH01, JH02, NM08 and
UC07.
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 consists of 5 nights
of routine maintenance (EN01) or 5.4% of the total available time.
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.
There is no OPEN time in the present version of the schedule.
-----

-----
UW Note: 102% of nominal share scheduled.
-----
UW01 = UW01 Yoac D R (high)
If special purpose slit is already at APO, please contact
OS at least 24 hrs in advance. If it is a new special
purpose slit, it should arrive at APO at least 7 days
before first use and OS should be consulted even further
in advance.
UW02 = UW02 West D R (high)
Very difficult to schedule because the observer is not
available for almost all of the Nov and Dec dark and grey
time. Best available scheduled.
UW03 = UW03 Silv D R (high)
UW04 = UW04 Cove D R (low)
Grey time not available as requested. Best approximation
scheduled; if not usable, please notify me ASAP.
UW05 = UW05 Szko D R (high)

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
MOST PROGRAMS ARE SCHEDULED IN HALF NIGHT BLOCKS. THE FIRST HALF OF
EACH NIGHT EXTENDS FROM -12 DEGREE EVENING TWILIGHT UNTIL 0050 MDT OR
2350 MST. THE SECOND HALF FOLLOWS UNTIL -12 DEGREE MORNING TWILIGHT.
FIRST HALF IS INDICATED BELOW AS "A"; THE SECOND, AS "B".
THIS QUARTER NO PROGRAMS USES NON-BLOCK SCHEDULING.
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.
