To go back to the EGal wikipage, use this link

This wikipage will serve as a summary of available multi-wavelength facilities that can be contacted in case of needing broadband follow-up observations of ToO/observing campaigns.

Information on monitoring/automatically running programs that may contain blazar data for sources of interest is also included here.

More opportunities of observing outside from the regular calls of each semester may appear through Service Nights or discretionary time (DDTs). For information of the upcoming Service Night or DDT calls/deadlines, ask Jorge Otero (joteros@iaa.es).
