Time-constrained observing

For projects which have specific time constraints, an interface is available which will capture the various pieces of information required to schedule the observations. However, this is only available for those projects that require a single 12-m configuration as the time-constrained interface implies simultaneous observing and it is very difficult to guarantee this in practice. The current interface allows three kinds of time-constrained observations:

Reasonable margins on the requested times should be entered. If these are too restrictive then it will be difficult to schedule the SB executions. The default margin for Cycle 2 is 14 days i.e. $\pm$7 days. A text box is available if it is desired to give further information regarding the proposed time-constrained observing.
