In cycle 0, what time of day will be available for observing?

Authors list
In cycle 0, time will be shared between science operations and "commissioning and science verification" (CSV) activities. CSV will have priority over science operations. Cycle 0 observations will be scheduled during blocks of 8 to 12 hours, mainly during the nighttime. See the cycle 0 policies (Chapter 5) of the ALMA Cycle 0 Proposer's Guide (ver. 1.1 May, 2011).
