	    REVISED ARC 3.5M SCHEDULE FOR 4th QUARTER 2004
                     E. Turner, R.McMillan 11/29/04


			NOTES: ***PLEASE READ***


	11/29 Note - Changes affecting 11/30, 12/7, 12/16, 12/18 and
	12/20 only.

	10/8 Note - Various requested trades implemented, the first of
        which affects tonight, 10/8/04!

	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 for 4Q2004 consists of 8 nights of EN02
        commisioning for the new NIC-FPS instrument, plus 3 nights
        of routine EN01 time.  The total is thus 81 nights or 162
        half-nights, of which 6 have been set aside for DD programs.

	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 are no half-nights of OPEN or unallocated DD time in the 
	present version of the schedule.

	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 NO PROGRAMS USES NON-BLOCK SCHEDULING.

	INSTRUMENT CHANGE TIMES ARE NOT INCLUDED BELOW BUT WILL BE INDICATED
