Observing Schedule

All times are quoted in AEST (thus the times match the distributed observing schedule), so you may need to adjust forward 1 hour for daylight savings

1All observing runs will be in AEST period [Daylight saving ends 3rd April 2011]
2The PIDs in brackets are proposals that are in the allocated time, but are not PPTA projects
3The Duty Fraction shows the fraction of time available to P456 & P595 during the allocated time. eg. during an observing run of 72 hours, if maintenance takes 8 hours, then the duty fraction will be 64/72 = 0.9

1All observing runs except for the first will have to be adjusted for daylight saving
2The PIDs in brackets are proposals that are in the allocated time, but are not PPTA projects
3The Duty Fraction shows the fraction of time available to either P140 or P456 during the allocated time. eg. during an observing run of 72 hours, if maintenance takes 8 hours, then the duty fraction will be 64/72 = 0.9
