29 September, 2014: Clarification about VISIR INSconfig

 In the P95 esoform template form the below VISIR Insconfig is not correct.

%\INSconfig{}{VISIR}{IMG N-band 76 mas/px}{Provide list of filters HERE} %\INSconfig{}{VISIR}{IMG Q-band 76 mas/px}{Provide list of filters HERE}

 ESO period 95, only the 45 mas pixel scale is offered, so this should be:

 %\INSconfig{}{VISIR}{IMG N-band 45 mas/px}{Provide list of filters HERE} %\INSconfig{}{VISIR}{IMG Q-band 45 mas/px}{Provide list of filters HERE}

19 September, 2014: Call for SPHERE Science Verification Proposals

The Science Verification (SV) for the Spectro-Polarimetric High-contrast Exoplanet REsearch instrument (SPHERE) will take place on the nights of 1–11 December 2014. All community astronomers are kindly invited to participate in this opportunity to obtain early science with SPHERE and thus to demonstrate the scientific capabilities of this extreme adaptive optics instrument.

15 September, 2014: ESOFORM SPHERE and XSHOOTER INSconfig macros updated

The SPHERE and XSHOOTER INSconfig macros in the ESOFORM template were wrongly configured. The ESOFORM package has been updated with corrected INSconfig macros: all underscores "_"  have been replaced with dashes "-". If you are applying for either of these instruments please download the new package in order to compile and submit your LaTeX template forms into the system successfully.

09 September, 2014: MUSE offered in Rapid Response Mode

Proposers wishing to use the instrument MUSE for Target of Opportunity proposals now have the opportunity to request it in Rapid Response Mode (RRM). Further details on the policies governing RRM observations can be found in the Call for Proposals document as well as the Phase 2 RRM webpage.

If you wish to apply for this mode please download the updated version of the ESOFORM package, which includes the following new instrument configuration.
