Applying for Service observations
 
Fill out the application form for the
instrument you want to apply for. 
Within an hour or so you will receive an email informing you that your 
proposal has passed safely into the scheme, along with its unique 
reference code.  If your programme does not appear in the 
 status files, and if you do not receive a 
mail message within a day of submitting your proposal please contact 
the Service Manager
Once your programme has become active, you can follow its progress
by inspecting the  status files.
The ULTRACAM form is the prototype of the new Service forms.  If you encounter any unexpected behaviour, please inform the Service Manager.

If your programme needs a finder chart, please make things easy for us:
-  write reference code and PI of programme on all pages
 
-  mark object(s) of interest
 
-  mark scale and orientation
 
-  give passband and magnitude limit
 
-  send in your finder chart well before your application becomes active
 
 
The best and secure/fast way to send in your finder chart is
- by providing the  Service Manager with a URL for your finder chart by email
 
Targets of Opportunity
In the case of 
genuine targets of opportunity  a service form 
should be submitted and the Service Manager should be contacted by email [
service@ing.iac.es ]. 
Please tick the Target_of_Opportunity box on the service form.
For the most urgent cases (eg a galactic supernova discovered that day!) the Service
Manager will arrange for local referees to assess your application.
