External Observing Time with the 0.9-m West Mountain Telescope

As part of the NSF PREST grant proposal (NSF AST-0618209) to fund the installation of the new 0.9-m telescope we are opening up a fraction of the time to external observers.  We have chosen to go with a slightly different format in opening the time to external observers.  Due to limited manpower we are not going to have a traditional application process with a TAC committee.  If you are interested in acquiring data from the 0.9-m West Mountain Telescope please contact one of the PI's on the project to discuss your observing needs.  We feel this will allow for more timely use of the telescope and will also allow us to make the best use of available observing time on this telescope.
