    Just in case you guys didn't get this ---

    We're going to have to be on our toes with this one. Hopefully they'll
    reschedule! If not, then August is going to be .... interesting.

    Dear SN Searchers,

       As you may have heard, HST enetered safemode due to a software glitch.
       The bad news is that this will last until Thursday at ~6pm,
       wiping out the search. However, I talked to the schedulerers
       and they are looking over the restart calendar now. They will *try*
       and get the search back on the calendar shortly after start up
       but they do not know yet if this is possible. We should probably know
    tomorrow. So it sounds to me like we will either search
       this weekend or not at all.
       
       By the way, STScI email will be down this weekend (oh joy)
       so to contact STScI folk please use the alternative email addresses in
       message header
       
       SCPers: this search is under your program id, 9727
       so you may be contacted about it asap. Looking at the roll angles, etc
       it looks like we could hit the same orients a few days later
       but the visibilities are dropping so it may be necessary to shave some
    seconds
       off the exposure times (but its much better to do that than to lose the
    search and mess up the sequence).
       
       
       -Adam
