For Our Information:
Once arranged, please let us know your Travel Plans.
Please tell us the instrument setup you need.
Please consider giving a talk -- CTIO staff are always interested to hear what others are doing in the astronomical community.
Support: Our mountain observing support staff provides most of the support for observers on Cerro Tololo itself. For the V. M. Blanco 4-m Telescope, each instrument has a scientific staff contact for additional help. The smaller telescopes are operated by the SMARTS Consortium, and queries should be directed to SMARTS personnel.
|
At the end of every night at every telescope, a report form must be filled out. At all telescopes this is now the responsibility of the observer. The observing assistant (Blanco, SOAR) will remind the observer to fill out the form as necessary. NOTE: Night Report forms are for internal use only and are not accessible from non-CTIO computers. |
