The new generation of ground-based telescopes offer unique observational opportunities for astronomy. By adopting the paradigm that observations must be matched to conditions it will be possible to use an 8 m telescope to couple the spatial resolution of the Hubble space telescope with a least 10 times the collecting area. To effectively exploit these characteristics will require a considerable degree of pre- planning and prediction of environmental and atmospheric conditions combined with the ability to dynamically schedule observations. In this paper we describe the approach being taken by the Gemini telescopes to implement this new observing mode which is essential to realize Gemini's ambitious science requirements.
