The instruments offered at the INT starting from Semester 06B are
Note that that the WFC and IDS will be scheduled in minimum blocks
of 4 weeks, as the ING can only support a small number of instrument changes
each semester. For this reason, we invite the community to present large
programmes to make best use of the INT (smaller proposals asking no less than
4 nights are still accepted).
As of August 2003, the INT is fully operated by visiting astronomers and
no telescope operator is available. A detailed introduction to the telescope
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. and
the IDS 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
