Submitting a WiFeS observing block for an observation is quite straight forward. However, there are a few things to remember and below this hopefully gives a quick tutorial of how to submit an observing block.
Below I will use an example of a nearby transient which you can apply for pretty much any source that you want to observe (transient, host galaxy, star, other...) , but does not cover when you require additional calibrations to make sure the wavelength solution is accurate (i.e., if you are performing RV observations for example). However, if there is time, I can also add this below.
Before you can submit an observing block, you will have to be added to a particular proposal that gives you privileges that you can submit request. To obtain this information, you will have to contact the PI of the observing program that you will be submitting under if you are not the PI. If you are the PI, Ian Price (who is amazing!) will send you your log in details to submit requests. The PI and/or Ian will also send you a link to the website that one can submit the requests under. It is not available on the website to help keep in obsured for security. Note that this website also has a very detailed help page as well, so while this is how I set it up, the help page put together by Ian is really helpful.
Depending on how the proposal was ranked and/or what you requested your allocation will be broken up based on a few things:
What the lunar phase is (i.e., is it dark, grey or bright) - this is specifically important for standard queue observations (i.e., no ToO privileges).
If it has ToO privileges or not.
For non ToO requests, whether something will be prioritised by the telescope will depend also on how it was ranked in the review. If it was ranked a priority 2 or higher then you will likely get your observations. If it is ranked less than this you will only get your observations if the weather is terrible (i.e., likely not everything). Paid time is different.
