INT Wide Field Camera Home Page
INT Intermediate Dispersion Spectrograph Home Page (note that IDS is not offered any longer to visiting astronomers)

As of August 2003, the INT is fully operated by visiting astronomers and no telescope operator is available. A detailed introduction to the telescope and its Wide Field Camera is given by ING students, who stay at the telescope until midnight of the fist night of an observing run. ING staff astronomers will be available for contact prior to the observations, and will be at the telescope in the afternoon of the first day of each run.
Information for planning your observations can be found at: Planning Observations, including travel & accommodation information, while a detailed description of how to operate the telescope and the Wide Field Camera is contained in the INT Wide Field Camera Home Page.

Being alone at the telescope for most of your observing run, it is very important that your read carefully the document on the ING lone worker alarm system. General rules on safety can be found here.

Also, at the end of your observing run do not forget to fill in the Feedback Form
