7) Keplercam continued performing extremely well. However, 
after the shutdown there was a noticeable decrease in sensitivity
near the edges of the CCD. The dewar had been brought to room
temperature during the shutdown, following normal procedures,
but the chip was apparently contaminated. After consultation with John Geary, 
Andy Szentgyorgyi and Dave Latham, we decided to bake the CCD
following John's careful prescription. WP completed the bake the
week of 06 Nov. The result was a return to normal sensitivity
near the edges.

8) Night swaps on the 1.2m telescope are a frequent occurrence.  Over
the past year, the 1.2m with Keplercam has obtained a significant
number of successful, useful observations of planetary transits.
Several PIs have participated in these observations, including Dave
Latham, Gaspar Bakos, Matt Holman and Dave Charbonneau. The
observations require scheduling on particular nights and usually cover
at least one-half of a night. Other projects such as measurements of
SN lightcurves or follow-up of NEOs also impose tight constraints on
the schedule. Several other projects compete for the remaining time,
but with less time criticality than those listed above.

Because of the success of the telescope, we are experiencing an
over-subscription of about 60%. Thus, the TAC has had to trim time
allocations, and scheduling has become more of a challenge than in
past years. Because of the nature of transits and their predictions
and of their growing rate of discovery, observers have swapped a
growing number of nights. Transits usually allow sharing of
nights. PIs have been extremely cooperative, but at times there may
not be an observer available to cover a given swapped night.  We
expect the demand for swaps to increase in coming trimesters.

So far, swaps have been conducted informally and successfully, but 
there have been occasional glitches. We offer the following 
guidelines for swapping nights to continue efficient observations
and minimize glitches. 

a) There is only one official schedule, available on the FLWO site. We
update the schedule on the TDC web site as soon as feasible, but it
may lag somewhat the FLWO version.

b) Emilio Falco (EF), or a designee in his absence, is solely
responsible for maintaining the FLWO schedule and for requesting
updates on the TDC site.

c) PIs should negotiate among themselves any desired swap, as well as
which observers will conduct the observations. As soon as there is an
agreement, the parties should inform EF.  The party receiving a night
should secure an acknowledgment from EF and should persist until the
schedule reflects the swap. The swap will be official only once the
schedule is updated to reflect it. The preferred means of
communication is email.

d) PIs should ensure that FLWO ridge staff is informed of any swap once
it is official, and any observer or filter changes should be stated. The
staff will acknowledge such changes to the PIs as soon as possible.
