This page gives an overview of the instrumentation
available on the WHT and
INT.
It is revised bi-annually to reflect the options offered in each semester.
Full information on all the listed instruments is indexed in the
Manuals Home Page, and
information on older instruments can be found on-line in the Obsolete
Instruments section of the Manuals Home Page.
Change to UK PATT Submission Deadlines Following the recent review of PATT, PPARC has agreed to move the deadlines for UK proposal submission earlier by two weeks to 15th March for B Semesters, and 15th September for A Semesters. This change will take place with immediate effect; the deadline for receipt of UK proposals for Semester 2003B will be midnight GMT on 15th March, 2003. UK applications must be submitted on the current version of the PATT2 form, version 02/2003. NAOMI/INGRID and OSCA
Prospective NAOMI/INGRID applicants should
read the most recent
performance summary. Use of the INT and JKT Due to the impact of cost savings at ING, IDS is no longer offered as a common-user instrument. The INT service programme, in which service observations are carried out by observatory personnel, has been discontinued. Also for reasons of cost savings, the JKT is no longer offered as a general-user facility. TNG Timeshare As part of a continuing collaboration between ING and TNG, NL and UK observers may apply to use three TNG instruments. These are: Five nights are available, and NL and UK applicants should submit proposals on their standard application forms to the NFRA PC and UK PATT respectively. |
