The GAS (Grupo de Astronomos de Soporte del IAC) reminds that, other than the biannual call for proposal managed by the CAT (Comisi\u00f3n de Asignaci\u00f3n de Tiempo nocturno en los Telescopios de Canarias), other ways exist to request observing time to the GTC, WHT, INT, NOT, LT and, occasionally, to the TNG. These are the IAC Director Discretionary Time (DDT) and the Service Time. DDT and Service Time proposal can be submitted at any time, in agreement with the rules reported in the Observatorios de Canarias (OOCC) website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The scientific evaluation of the proposals is done by the CAT (service) and by the IAC Director advised by international experts (DDT). The feasibility of the observing programs is verified by the staff of the different telescopes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
