| - | The Q3 schedule is in progress and we expect to publish it in a few days. Challenges in building the Q3 schedule include a class visit in July, a visiting instrument run, and the fact that several users will be attempting to observe Venus in the pre-dawn hours. Due to the fact that Q3 is a short quarter because of the summer shutdown there will be very little DD or OPEN time available (and there could be even less if there are difficulties with summer shutdown or recovery. UC reps: please urge your users to review the Q3 schedule and let us know immediately if there are errors; it will be much more challenging to fix them later in the quarter since we will have very little flexibility in the schedule. | + | The Q3 schedule is in progress and we expect to publish it in a few days.

| There is an open week from June 25 to July 1 but this is not scheduleable due to the fact that we will have a visiting instrument on 3.5m that will require all of the attention of the observing specialist. Once the Q3 3.5m schedule comes out we will issue a call for Q3 ARCSAT proposals. ARCSAT will be following the same shutdown schedule as the 3.5m, thus it will not be operating during summer shutdown. There have been some recent issues with BYUCam that we think we have traced to a hardware problem. We are currently encouraging people to use FlareCam and will include more information about the status of BYUCam in the Q3 call for proposals. | There is an open week from June 25 to July 1 but this is not scheduleable due to the fact that we will have a visiting instrument on 3.5m that will require all of the attention of the observing specialist.
