<p style="direction: ltr; background-color: white; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 8pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black;">The Australian Time Allocation Committee (ATAC) is issuing a delta call soliciting proposals to use
<b>instruments at the Cassegrain focus (Veloce, KOALA or visitor’s instruments e.g. HIPPI)</b> on the Anglo-Australian Telescope between
</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black; background-color: yellow;">17 March and 22 April 2025</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black;">.</span></p>
<p style="direction: ltr; background-color: white; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 8pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black;">This delta call arises from a necessity to remove Hector with the 2dF top-end from the prime focus during this period to allow uninterrupted continuation of the 2dF refurbishment before it is back in operation in
June 2025.</span></p>
