      If you don't want to share nights, please mark "NO" in Section 13 (the default is "YES"). 
      Note: the up to 1 hour might not need to be continuous, for example it could be 0.5 hour after sunset and 0.5 hour at 2am, and etc, and may be a total of 1 hour or less
  
  (D) The default LCI (Lulin Compact Imager) is Sophia 2048B CCD.

  (E) LISA spectrograph (LCS) is now available, proposals using this instrument are required to have observer(s) going to Lulin Observatory (proposals without specifying observers will be REJECTED).

  (F) We strongly encourage observers (especially students) to be presented at the Lulin Observatory, instead of queue observing.

  (G) For proposal(s) re-submitted from past semesters, please address TAC comments. Proposal(s) that do not show improvement will be rejected.
  
Note that late submission will NOT be accepted. For information regarding LOT and/or available instruments, please check Lulin's website (www.lulin.ncu.edu.tw) or consult with Lulin staff (lulinstaff_@_astro.ncu.edu.tw)

ToO policy:
* maximum 2 hr ToO interruption per night; please negotiate/inform the original PI in advance
* please sent the ToO request to Lulin observing staff (Chi-Sheng, Hsiang-Yao and Wei-Jie) 
* the original PI/observer remained the right to accept/decline ToO

The accepted proposals and schedule for 2022A Semester will be announced at Lulin's website (www.lulin.ncu.edu.tw) in mid-December 2021.
