In the short term, it means that we lose 1 hour/night, so observing
efficiency will be reduced by roughly 10%. Your observations may not be
completed.
Please do not complain to your schedulers. Please direct comments to
the CTIO Director's office, or to the SMARTS Observatory director, or to the
Chilean government.
We have been informed that,
in order to conform to Chilean Labor Law, it is
necessary to build a 1 hour night lunch break into the nightly schedule.
We will be
starting to implement this about 1 June.

Important note
for RC spectrograph users:
The RC spectrograph dewar developed a leak in early February. It was unavailable
on February 3. It went down again on February 6. Flats for Feb 4-6 are highly
structured: spectra taken on those those nights should be examined closely for artifacts introduced by the flat-fielding.
The RC spectrograph returned to service Feb 16.
This loss of over a week will severely affect all RC spectrograph observing programs.Thank you for your forbearance.

Notes:
A more-or-less current accounting of the useage for the current semester is maintained here.
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, 47/IIb, and 58/I. 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
Get the v17 password from Fred Walter, or Howard Bond.
Note that recently (November 2008) CTIO has tightened their computer security, and are discouraging scp downloads. They are encouraging use of VPN (see this memo).
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.
The pipeline should run under Linux, with IDL versions 6.2 and later. You will need the IDL Astronomy User's Library in your path.
Caveat: this has not been extensively tested on other systems, so you may
run into missing procedures and undefined environment variables (or hardware
links). Please let me know of any problems and I will correct the problems.
An IDL pipeline for reducing echelle spectra
An IDL-based pipeline for reducing 1.5m queue echelle spectra is now available.
A brief guide is available in this file.
The full distribution, including calibration data, is
here.
This will work only for data taken using the full chip readout.
The pipeline should run under the Linux O/S, with IDL versions 6.2 and later. You will need the IDL Astronomy User's Library in your path.
