Instrument use

Table 3 lists the number of scheduled observing nights and technical nights for each instrument. This covers all nights, including CAT, CCI and guaranteed time. In this table I have also included the number of observing runs, and the number of nights per observing run for each instrument. Note that in the reports for period 30 and 31 the first column in the corresponding table actually listed the total number of nights each instrument was mounted instead of the total number of scheduled nights as indicated by the column header.
