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. ----- EN Note: No science observations scheduled during EN time. ----- EN01 = EN01 Gill ?

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.
