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.

Finding charts

If your programme needs a finder chart, please make things easy for us:

The best and secure/fast way to send in your finder chart is

  1. 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.
