NOAO offers the opportunity to conduct major survey programs of up to 3 years duration. Up to 20% of the observing time available through NOAO may be allocated to Survey Programs.
The National Solar Observatory has observing facilities at both Kitt Peak (NSO/KP) and Sacramento Peak (NSO/SP). Forms, deadlines and policies differ from those for NOAO nighttime facilities. Please see the NSO website for details.
