Chris will give you a more accurate estimate but it must be close to
20 hs as we got 25 hours in total.
item 2) would suck up ~10-12 hours
item 4) -"- ~1 hour /SN (we asked for time for two)
item 3) would be comparable to 2) for each SN. I also know that
Chris thinks we need to get OK from ESO if we were to do a final ref
from last year, as this is one of the programs for which we were *not*
given time for this spring.
Thus items 1 + 2 + 4 seem doable. Chris will probably want to comment
on this.

What about NICMOS? Any chance we get to use it now?
