Observatory Time Service

Observatory Time Service is a system that manages and allocates the scheduled observing hours on a telescope to various researchers and projects. It ensures fair and efficient use of telescope time, allowing scientists to plan their observations in advance. By organizing these time slots, the service helps maximize scientific output, coordinate complex observation sessions, and maintains a transparent process for distributing access among the astronomy community. Essentially, it’s a scheduling system that ensures valuable telescope resources are used effectively for advancing astronomical research.
