Telescope Data Center (TDC)
The SAO Telescope Data Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts, supports the above optical telescopes operated by SAO and Harvard with the following services:

How to submit proposals for MMT, Magellan and FLWO telescopes.

Optical Telescope Schedules. Current and past schedules for the FLWO 1.2-meter, FLWO 1.5-meter, MMT and Magellan telescopes are online.

Observing and Local Documentation.All documents relating to observing preparation, reduction and archiving and more.

Computing and Catalog Resources. Computer servers, internal archives of raw data, access to vast catalogs of sources.

Data Reduction and Analysis Software. Software to process and analyze optical telescope data.

Optical Telescope Data Archive of spectral data from the FAST spectrograph, Z-Machine spectrograph, and the MMT Blue Channel Reticon Spectrograph.
