Acknowledging...
Depending on whether the observations were obtained via standard
scheduled observations, service time, an override programme,
discretionary time, the ING archive, or an ING survey, please use one of the forms of words below.
The Standard Programme
If the data were obtained as part of a standard scheduled programme,
then please use the following acknowledgement:

Palma by the Isaac Newton Group of Telescopes in the Spanish Observatorio del Roque
de los Muchachos of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias.
If possible, please add the proposal reference/s or the dates of the observations, e.g. 'The ISIS spectroscopy was obtained as part of SW2012a11 and W12AN005. LIRIS photometry was obtained as part of W/2011A/12.'
