Completing the Scheduling Page

On this page you can indicate to the partner Time Allocation Committee a minimum request and/or notify that this is a long-term proposal with indication of time requests in future semesters.

For classical-mode proposals, you can also identify dates when the proposal should or should not be scheduled. The procedure to register impossible, optimal or synchronous dates is as follows:

1. Use the radio buttons to select a category (e.g. optimal)
2. Begin a date range by single clicking on the start date on the calendar. You can use the single and double arrow buttons next to the month to move through the current semester.
3. Complete the date range by single clicking on the end date (which can be in a different month). A thin line of the corresponding colour (e.g. green for optimal) will be drawn between the two dates. The dates are entered automatically into the summary tab.
4. Add other date ranges and/or categories as desired.
5. A defined range can be deleted by selecting it in the calendar (click on the thin line) and then click on the delete button. You can also delete all selected ranges.
6. For synchronous, optimal or impossible dates give a brief justification by selecting the appropriate tab e.g. the name of the other telescope and status of their time award, target inaccessibility etc.

The calendar also shows the lunar phase e.g. full moon is an open circle.
