Table 1 - Estimated available telescope time for 2027A semester

|---|---|
| Gemini | 157.5 hrs = 80.4 hrs (North) + 77.1 hrs (South) # Time available for this Call (excluding time for Fast Turnaround program) |
* Note: Fast Turnaround (FT) Programs provide monthly opportunities to submit proposals. The submitted proposals are reviewed by the peer PIs who submit FT proposals. Successful programs are scheduled for observation starting one month after each proposal deadline. We strongly recommend Korean Gemini Users apply for the FT program if observing programs have an adequate length of observing time for the FT. The time available for the FT program in 2027A is 5 hrs for Gemini-N and 5 hrs for Gemini-S.
