No Short-Low or High-Res nuclear maps: 

  NGC 6822, Ho II, M 82

IRS observations delayed - we want to first inspect the imaging data:

  NGC0584 NGC0855 NGC1291 NGC1316 NGC1404 NGC2403 NGC3773 NGC4125 NGC4236 NGC4450 NGC4552

  NGC5474 IC 2574 IC 4710 M81DwA  M81DwB  Ho I  Ho IX  DDO 053  DDO 154  DDO 165 

  (We ultimately opted to not observe DDO154, N5474 (LL/SL), IC2574, HoI, M81DwA, M81DwB)

Timing window constrained to ensure MIPS SED and IRS strip maps sufficiently overlap.  MIPS SED observations need to be done 6 months later:

  NGC3031 NGC2403 NGC6946 NGC4236 NGC4631

Galaxies with more than 10 LL strip widths:

  NGC 7731 (11), NGC 337 (14), NGC 3034 (13), NGC 6822 (18)

NGC 3034 LL strip is perpendicular to major axis by design, to avoid GTO conflict.

Expanded High-Res circumnuclear maps (6x10 vs 3x5) for:

  NGC1097 NGC1482 NGC1512 NGC1705 NGC3351 NGC4321 NGC4536 NNGC6946 NGC7552 

SL nuclear maps redone due to latent effects of prior Spitzer bright source (~6000 Jy) observations:

  NGC 4736 and NGC 2915 

The observing window for the N3621 LL strip AOR was opened up, to catch the June '05 window.  For some reason the object was not observed during the Feb '05 IRS campaign, and the next IRS campaign (that would offer a decent strip/major axis alignment) would probably be Feb '06
