Context: This P60 telescope Cover Sheet shall be used by eligible proposers to summarize requests for Caltech time on the P60 telescope. This form is designed exclusively for use on desktop computers.
Instructions: Fill in the required information. When finished, save the form on your computer as a PDF document
(click the PRINT button to open the print dialog box on your computer,
then save the form as a PDF)
to be merged with the cover sheet and the discussion section of your proposal.
Our solicitation forms are evolving to add features and hopefully streamline program specification and proposal preparation. The forms are extensively tested with the Chrome browser on multiple platforms, and tested to a lesser extent with Safari and Firefox and Edge.
Some known, browser-specific issues::
Safari may not invoke the print dialog correctly more than once using the PRINT button. In that circumstance we recommend using the browser print command (File→Print).
Firefox does not clear/reset the form properly on refresh. To reset the form to its proper initial state use shift + refresh.
Internet Explorer is not supported and its use is not recommended for these solicitation forms.
Use the COO Feedback page to report other issues or share your feedback on this form.

60-inch Telescope Request
The 60-inch telescope is operated as a service-observing instrument, with individual observations
obtained according to scheduling queues established by the telescope manager to achieve maximum efficiency.
Principal Investigators are not at the telescope during observing.
Notes:
The principal instrument at the 60-inch is the SED Machine.
Use the table below to enter the requested observing time (in hours) per month.
As a rough guide, 6.0 hours of on-target observing time is equivalent to one night.
Month Summarize the requested time by month (units of hours).
