Applying for Telescope Time through AATAC

Proposals for Semester 08B have now closed. The AAO will begin accepting new proposals for Semester 09A in August 2008. Information about scheduling arrangements, and availability of instrumentation, can be found here.

A Call for AAT Proposals to AATAC is normally made via the Astronomical Society of Australia's membership exploder and STFC's ASTROCOMMUNITY exploder a month or so prior to the deadline. If you are not on either of these lists, but wish to receive the Call for Proposals and other AATAC notices, please contact Helen Woods at the address below.

AATAC will not be accepting proposals for new Large Observing Programs (i.e. 50 nights or more, over 1 or more semesters) to commence on the AAT in Semester 09A. The next opportunity to propose new Large Observing Programs will be in Semester 09B.
