In the tables above, slots without comments are fixed by
operational reasons (e.g Pinhole is needed for aligining the grisms).
Permanent ToO set-up for the P3X-(001-199) proposals approved by the NOT OPC.
Visiting astronomers' setups may override the ToO setup in case
approved by the OPC (i.e. must be requested in original proposal).
The Spanish CAT and ITP-proposals can modify the "ToO slots".
