Welcome to Lens 2.0

A new and improved version of Lens is coming soon!

The upgrade will improve the user experience and fix several long-standing issues.

Welcome to the Lens Proposal Portal

Please report any bugs or issues to the Lens Service Desk and we will endeavour to fix them ASAP. For general user support please email Kate Barnard at AAL (kbarnard@swin.edu.au).

Welcome to Lens, the telescope proposal portal.

Lens has evolved from its beginnings as an embedded component of the AAO website (aao.gov.au) to become a standalone system that is part of the Data Central ecosystem. The system currently manages AAT and Australian Blanco 4m telescope proposals. There are plans for more telescopes' proposals to be manage using Lens; these will be revealed at a later date.

Data Central is also home to the AAT raw data archive, and we plan to link it with Lens, to create a proprietary data access portal.

Please log in via the link on the left to start your telescope proposal.

Your Lens account is the same as your Data Central account.
