                    ARC 3.5M SCHEDULE FOR 4th QUARTER 2006
                         S.Hawley, R.McMillan 12/02/06

                            NOTES: ***PLEASE READ***

            12/02/06: assigned some DD time, implemented time trades.
            There is one half night of unallocated DD time (DD05)
            in the 12/02/06 version of the schedule.

            9/14/06: assigned OPEN and DD time, implemented time
            trades.  There are 3 half nights of unallocated DD time
            (DD05) and no OPEN time in the 9/14/06 version of the
            schedule.

            **** NOTE that DIS gratings have been assigned to the new
            **** default setting for the low resolution mode, except
            **** where explicitly requested otherwise.  Please check
            **** grating assignments and confirm settings when sending
            **** setup message before your run.  See message 978 in
            **** the apo35-general archive for more information:
            http://www.astro.princeton.edu/APO/apo35-general/msg.978.html

            Except in cases where strong science drivers dictate
            otherwise (a minority of cases), observing time has again
            been scheduled in half night blocks.

            There are 92 nights, or 184 half nights, in 4Q2006.
            Scheduled engineering (routine EN01 time) consists of 5
            nights, or 10 half nights.  Engineering time comprises
            5.4% of the total time in 4th quarter 2006.  DD time
            consists of 16 equivalent half nights (9B, 1G, 6D),
            representing 8.7% of the total.

            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 3 half-nights of OPEN time and 4 half nights of
            unallocated DD time (DD05) in the 9/8/06 version of the
            schedule.

            MOST PROGRAMS ARE SCHEDULED IN HALF NIGHT BLOCKS.  THE
            FIRST HALF OF EACH NIGHT EXTENDS FROM SUNSET UNTIL 0110
            MDT OR 0000 MST.  THE SECOND HALF FOLLOWS UNTIL SUNRISE.

            FIRST HALF IS INDICATED BELOW AS "A"; THE SECOND, AS "B".

            THIS QUARTER FOUR 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.
