  	       ARC 3.5M SCHEDULE FOR 1st QUARTER 2005
                       S.Hawley, R.McMillan 1/6/05


  			NOTES: ***PLEASE READ***

         1/6 Note - Various requested trades and requests for OPEN time
         implemented.  One half-night of DD time assigned to DD02.
         There are 2 OPEN half-nights and 2 unallocated half-nights of
         DD time in the present schedule.

         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.
