                  ARC 3.5M SCHEDULE FOR 2nd QUARTER 2009
                       S.Hawley, R.McMillan 5/30/09

                          NOTES: ***PLEASE READ***

          5/30/09: Last two DD half nights assigned.  No remaining DD or
          OPEN time.

          4/22/09: Implemented time trade.  2 DD06 half nights remain
          unallocated.

          4/8/09: Assigned some DD time.  There are 2 half nights of
          unallocated DD time (DD06) remaining in the 4/8/09 schedule.

          3/29/09: Corrected some minor errors.

          3/22/09: Implemented time trades and assigned OPEN time.   
There is no
          OPEN time left in Q2.  There are 5 half-nights of  
unallocated DD time
          (DD05) in the 3/21/09 schedule.

          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 91 nights, or 182 half nights, in 2Q2009.
          Scheduled engineering (routine EN01) time consists of 7
          nights, or 14 half nights, all bright, comprising 7.7% of the
          total.  DD time consists of 12 half nights, divided as 5B,
          2G, 5D, representing 6.6% of the total.  Computing 182 - 14 -
          12 leaves 156 half nights for allocation by the institutions,
          which break down as 66B, 24G and 66D.

          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 7 half-nights of OPEN time and 5 half-nights of  
unallocated DD time
          (DD05) in the 3/11/09 version of the schedule.

Any factual errors in these pages are likely due to the translation, and not to the schedule itself. The pages are also still pretty sketchy, and will need to be fleshed out; suggestions would be very welcome (schedule-keepers/apo.nmsu.edu).
