This section has been divided into headings based on time such that the most immediate needs appear at the top.  This classifications, however, also nearly fits a classification scheme based on cost, such that the most expensive items appear in the last, long term category.
 

Immediate needs

Amateur CCD camera to be used for the 1999 observing season, and later as a secondary instrument - cost $3700.
Plane fare for 3 Moscow observers for the 1999 observing season.  4 tickets each at $400 a piece, means a total cost of $4 800.
Equivalent expenses for the Kharkov observing team - cost estimate $4800.
Travel expenses from Tashkent to Maidanak for all teams, 1999 season - cost estimate $ 2000.
Pentium computer with CD-writer for reliable collection and storage of observational data - cost estimate $1500

Medium term

Scientific grade CCD camera with liquid nitrogen cooling and a moderately expensive ($9000) 800x2000 pixel chip.  This is crucial in order to take advantage of the excellent observing conditions on site and the very capable 1.5m telescope already in place.  Cost estimate $65 000.
Computer network at the observatory with Pentium II computers, tape backup, laser printer - required for stable observation and image processing on-site.  Cost estimate $10 000.
Maintenance and Repair of main telescope and dome.  Cost estimate $5000 per year.
Maintenance of other observatory facilities such as buildings and minor instruments.  Cost estimate $10 000 per year.
2 4WD vehicles suitable for transporting personnel and equipment from Tashkent to the base camp at Kitab, and from there on to the Observatory at 2600m via difficult mountain roads - cost estimate $50 000.

Long term

Upgrade CCD camera with a high quality 2000x2000 pixel CCD chip.  Cost estimate $50 000.
New spectrograph for the 1.5m telescope.  Cost estimate $20 000.
Internet connection at the observatory.  Satellite link equipment and connection fees.  Rough estimate at $100 000.  Prices for this will hopefully fall considerably in the coming years.
