ARC 3.5M SCHEDULE FOR 1st QUARTER 2005
S.Hawley, R.McMillan 12/12/04
NOTES: ***PLEASE READ***
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 1Q2005 consists of 1 night of EN02
commissioning for the new NIC-FPS instrument, plus 4.5
nights of routine EN01 time. The total is thus 84.5 nights
or 169 half-nights, of which 5 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 work 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 4 half-nights of OPEN time (all bright) and 3
half-nights of unallocated DD time (2 dark, 1 grey) in the
present version of the schedule.

MOST PROGRAMS ARE SCHEDULED IN HALF NIGHT BLOCKS. THE FIRST
HALF OF EACH NIGHT EXTENDS FROM SUNSET UNTIL 0010 MDT. THE
SECOND HALF FOLLOWS UNTIL SUNRISE.
FIRST HALF IS INDICATED BELOW AS "A"; THE SECOND, AS "B".
THIS QUARTER THREE PROGRAMS USE 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.
