Notes:
(1): Dec 19-23: CCD in need of UV flood; response questionable.
(2): HeAr calibration lamp failed, Argon lamp may not be useful in the blue.

Special Observing Plans
• Bright 26/I targets for cloudy nights
• Bright 47/I targets for cloudy nights

Useage Summary

A more-or-less current accounting of the useage for the current semester is maintained here.

Contact Information
• Scheduler: Fred Walter (fwalter@astro.sunysb.edu) 631-632-8232
• Observer: Alberto Javier Pasten Torrejon
• SMARTS PI: Charles Bailyn (bailyn@astro.yale.edu)

Except for authorized TOOs, all requests for changes to the schedule must be approved by the scheduler or the PI.

All requests to schedule TOOs, authorized or not, must be made to the scheduler.

The following is a list of spectrograph setups we have used. The most common service observing setups are 13/I, 26/I, 47/Ib, 47/II, and 56/II. Other setups may be requested when the science requires them, but scheduling efficiency is increased if the standard ones are used as much as possible.

Note: Gratings may not be changed during the night. Grating tilts may be changed, at the cost of some observing efficiency.

Our observer only takes the data, he does not give it to you. You must download your own data.

scp the data from either

• v17@ctio60.ctio.noao.edu:/ua21/v17/yymmdd-15 or
• v17@ctio60.ctio.noao.edu:yymmdd-15

Get the v17 password from Alan Whiting, Fred Walter, or Howard Bond.

The data are generally kept on-line at CTIO for a week or two after they have been taken. The raw data are archived at Stony Brook and at Yale.
