REVISED ARC 3.5M SCHEDULE FOR 4th QUARTER 2004 E. Turner, R.McMillan 12/17/04 NOTES: ***PLEASE READ*** 12/17 Note - A change for first half of 12/29 only; PU07 added. 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. ----- EN Note: No science observations scheduled during EN time. ----- EN01 = EN01 Gill ?
