With the release of the La Silla Paranal telescope schedule, the Phase 2 preparation for runs scheduled in Service Mode begins. The deadline for the submission of the Phase 2 material for Period 115 is Thursday, 6 February 2025. The Service Mode guidelines provide detailed information about Phase 2 material preparation using the web application p2, while the instrument overview table provides quick links to user manuals, tools and p2 tutorials for individual instruments.

The User Support Department (USD) at ESO offers assistance in the preparation of the Phase 2 material for Service Mode runs. Besides providing the material from previous La Silla Paranal Observatory Users Workshops that include hands-on observation preparation videos, the USD staff is available for individual online support. If you have been granted time in Service Mode in P115, you will receive a message from your support astronomer with additional information about the Phase 2 process. You can also reach the User Support Department via the helpdesk portal.
