		| Abstract: | 
		The DRAO ST was used for the past 15 years as the primary instrument for the Canadian 
 Galactic Plane Survey (CGPS, Taylor et al. 2003). This has been a spectacularly 
 successful project, advancing our understanding of the Milky Way Galaxy through 
 panoramic imaging of the main constituents of the Interstellar Medium. Observations 
 for the CGPS are now complete and the Synthesis Telescope at DRAO (Landecker et al. 2000) 
 has returned to proposal-driven mode. 
 
 The Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory invites astronomers to apply for 
 observing time with the DRAO Synthesis Telescope. The DRAO ST provides radio 
 observations of atomic hydrogen and radio continuum emission, including the polarized 
 signal, with high spatial dynamic range and arcminute resolution. Imaging techniques 
 developed for the CGPS have made the telescope into a front-line instrument for 
 wide-field imaging, particularly of polarized emission. We will discuss telescope 
 characteristics, show examples of data to demonstrate the unique capabilities of the 
 ST, and explain where and how to apply for observing time.  |
