Last month saw the launch of our new Phase 1 system for the Liverpool Telescope. There are two calls for LT proposals every year around September and February where astronomers are invited to submit their requests for telescope time. These proposals consist of a science case (a detailed explanation of the science they wish to explore with the telescope time they are applying for) and a technical case detailing how they will take these measurements: which instrument, how much time they need, what weather conditions are required etc. These proposals are then assessed by an independent Time Allocation Committee (TAC) and external reviewers before they are ranked and allocated telescope time.
