EFOSC Set-Up Form

Please use the following form to submit your set-up request for EFOSC2. If your setup is special and does not follow the standard setup form, please contact your support astronomer. Note that it is critical that you discuss the set-up with your support astronomer prior to submitting the form.

This set-up form has to be submitted at the latest at 07:00 local on the day you start observing. If you submit it later, it is likely that either your set-up will not be ready in time and/or that you will be waken up early in the morning. It is very helpful to submit this form as far in advance as possible, for forward planning of instrument set-ups. If you know the set up you will use in advance of your run, please submit it early (even before arrival at La Silla).

Please do not overfill this form: select only the optical elements you need. Conversely, it is better to fill in the form once with all the elements you will possibly need than to request changes to the set up during the run. Consider what you need carefully before you submit the form. Please note that changing grisms is particularly time consuming. This form is not performing any verification on the consistency of the set-up you request: be sure to check that you are not requesting duplicate or incompatible elements.
