Notes:
The format for support codes is…
F					First night support will be provided.
N					No support will be provided at the telescope. The contact astronomer is listed.
Y					Full support will be provided.
S					Service mode or Director's time observations which will be carried out by AAO astronomers.
A					An AAO astronomer is on the proposal and will provide their own support.
When more than one support astronomers initials appear, the first named astronomer is always the principle contact.
OPTICON proposals are shown in italics.
Conditions:
H					Half night change at midnight. 11B/44 first half, 11A/24 second half.
I					IRIS2 available for override (in the case of IRIS2, SPIRAL or CYCLOPS only. CYCLOPS programs that instead elect to use normal UCLES slit feed
					cannot be overridden).
!					Denotes change from previous version of the schedule.

Schedule Notes

General Notes

• Dates : Australian public holidays are indicated as red-shaded weekdays. Dark, Grey and Bright time is indicated by the 'D/G/B' column.

• NB: Important information for some proposals is given in the footnotes at the base of the schedule.

• Proposal: Likely observers names are indicated in upper case.

• Support : The initials indicate which member of AAO staff is assigned to support each program

1. If the astronomer's name appears in parentheses then is not expected the astronomer will be present at the telescope, though the astronomer will be responsible for any other support required.

2. If two support astronomers are listed, the FIRST name given is that of the primary support astronomer. The primary support astronomer is the principal contact for all matter relating to this proposal, and is responsible for coordinating the provision of position files etc. The primary support astronomer is responsible for co-ordinating service observing.

3. Support astronomers may be contacted at Email@aao.gov.au, where Email is the e-mail username in the following table.

Service & 2dF+AAOmega Observing

All programs are required to send at least one, and not more than two, observers for their 2dF+AAOmega runs. PIs should inform the AAO through the usual travel channels of the proposed observers well in advance of their runs.

Half-nights, Quarter-nights etc.

Such nights are defined by appropriate fraction of the time between evening and morning astronomical twilight.

Over-ride Programs

Standard over-ride conditions (http://www.aao.gov.au/AA O/astro/apply/override.html) apply. Extra conditions apply to competing over-rides for observations of the same targets. Further specific conditions include:

11B/21 – 1 GRB for 2 epochs, each epoch for 1.5hr. 1 GRB for 1 epoch of 3.0 hours. The following conditions apply:

• The over-ride can only be invoked when IRIS2 is available.

• Any single program can only be over-ridden for a total of 3.5 hours.

• Chris Springob (CMS) to act as contact.
