University of Hawaii 2.2-meter telescope Proposal Information

Proposals for observing time on the 2.2-meter telescope must have a principal investigator affiliated with the University of Hawaii.

The UH Observing Time Request Form (which takes the form of a research proposal) is used for applications for observing time on the 2.2-meter telescope, and also for Keck, CFHT, UKIRT, JCMT, CSO and SMA. The observing time request form is most easily completed using the LaTeX format blank form. Visiting observers must complete the on-line Hale Pohaku Reservation Form at least 3 weeks prior to their arrival in Hawaii.

The telescope is scheduled in six-month semesters. The scheduling periods and deadlines are:

    Deadline          Period
    October 1         February-July
    April 1           August-January

On-site observers at the 2.2-meter telescope must stay at Hale Pohaku while observing, and also acclimatize at Hale Pohaku for one night before the start of their observing run. Effective February 2001, new surcharges apply whenever our occupancy exceeds 6 rooms. Please read our priority list for details of these charges.

The telescope may also be operated remotely.
