Las Campanas Observatory Online Telescope

Rules of the Game

The calendars below show the priority user for the calendar day of the month. The weekdays (Sunday..Saturday) are just an artifact of the calendar. It is the month day that matters. For example, Astrophysics has the 9th of every month, regardless of which day of the week it falls.

If you have a time critical observation, contact the owner of that day to arrange to exchange days, or be grated access.

If you are not the priority user and find the observatory idle, you are encouraged to use it, with the understanding that the priority user has the right to log on and bounce you off. Good manners are to wait for the current image to complete before bouncing a poacher, but if the exposure is very long you can go ahead an cancel it when you are ready to start you session.
