For broad band filters the sky background will limit the detection of faint targets. ... If these higher sky levels would severely impact the science data, observers should consider specifying the special requirement LOW-SKY on the Phase II proposal. ... Note that LOW-SKY cannot be used for CVZ targets, as they imply mutually exclusive pointing constraints . Scattering of bright Earth light in the OTA can produce non-uniformities in the background which may hamper analysis of faint target images. ...

... The J, H and K bands are characterized by a bright background, such a background is mainly due to the emission of atmospheric lines and of thermal radiation. ... If the source cover a large fraction of the slit, spectra off-source must be observed to adequately sample the sky background. ... The on chip integration time (time spent in each position of the slit) must not exceed 40 seconds in J and H bands and 60 seconds in K band. ...

... Because of the potential impact of poor weather on 3mm observations, the ATCA has used a "swap" system of flexible scheduling for these observations. ... This was both to encourage more proposals that could be used as swaps and to reduce the burden of swapping (the swap system tends to discriminate against the centimetre observer). ... For example Directors Time could be used for 3mm proposals if there was no bad weather (this would not be possible if a centimetre swap were mandated). ...
