  "account": "The NASA Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF) is currently accepting proposals for the 2027A semester. The IRTF provides a range of imaging capabilities with filters and spectroscopic observing across wavelengths from 0.5µm to 20µm, offering resolutions of 50 to 80,000. The facility specializes in non-sidereal tracking of solar system objects, including near-Earth objects. Pre-observing training is available for new and unfamiliar observers, and the facility supports Target of Opportunity programs, requiring regular follow-up observations. Observing is typically conducted remotely, but in-person experiences are also available with accommodation and transportation options. For more information and to submit a proposal, visit the provided URL.",
