WHT - use of time not scheduled for observing

1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020

Each semester, ~ 10 - 20 nights are allocated for service observing (indicated in the schedule as 'S' nights) and ~ 10 - 25 nights for quality control and commissioning ('D' = discretionary or 'Comm' = commissioning nights). Bright S/D/Comm nights are scheduled flexibly. Whether they are used for service observing, quality-control work or commissioning usually depends on observing conditions, the state of the service-observing queue, and the urgency of the quality-control work. Dark nights (or parts of nights) are used for service observing.

The numbers of nights actually used for discretionary/commissioning work and for service observing, for each semester from 1989B, are given below. NB 'service' means science observations carried out in service mode, i.e. including: (1) service proposals; (2) AO backup programmes; (3) overrides, targets of opportunity.

'A' currently refers to the period Feb - Jul, 'B' to Aug - Jan (note that the start and end dates of the PATT semesters were different in the distant past). For semesters 97A and earlier, the numbers have been deduced from the telescope schedules, and are approximate.

The use of individual nights, from 1993B onwards, is logged below. The parenthesised values are the fractions of the astronomical night used for each task. If these do not add up to 1.0, the remainder of the night, typically 0.5, was for scheduled observing. [ ] indicate comments on scheduled observing, e.g. on AO nights.

'?' usually implies no report received from the observer.

Work done in twilight is not recorded.
