To apply for CfA time on these telescopes, the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics must be your primary affiliation and you must be resident at a CfA facility. CfA staff on leave or sabbatical may also apply for time. Check out our proposal policies here. Check out our observing policies here. You will have access to all previous CfA proposals you filled out online. Changes may be made to any of your current Web proposals until the deadline. There is no "Submit" button. Check instrument status to make sure the one you want to use is available. Information from a web form is immediately used to build a proposal cover page and errors are reported back to you so that they may be corrected before the proposal is finalized. You can view any of your proposals as Adobe Acrobat (PDF) files the way the TAC will see them. The Time Allocation Committee (TAC) ranks proposals 1-2 weeks after the proposal submission deadline. Telescope schedules should be available approximately one month before the beginning of each trimester (for Mt. Hopkins MMT and Ridge) or semester (for Magellan). If the online help doesn't answer your questions, email them to the Telescope Data Center Staff.
