Here ESO operates two major telescopes: the 3.6m telescope, and the New Technology Telescope (NTT). They are equipped with state of the art instruments either built completely by ESO or by external consortia, with substantial contribution by ESO. La Silla Observatory is hosting regularly Visitor Instruments that are attached to a telescope, for the duration of a run of observation and then is removed from the telescope. La Silla also hosts national telescopes, such as the 2.2-m Max-Planck telescope, 1.2-m Swiss Telescope and the 1.5-m Danish Telescope. UPDATE October 2020 Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, visitor runs until end of 2020 have been converted into "designated visitor mode" (dVM). Instructions for dVM observers are given at the following page: Designated Visitor Information During their run, observers can interact with the telescope/instrument operator on a remote session, which is described at the following page: LOEM Instructions End of Mission Report News You will receive an email after your run with a one time password. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IN CASE OF EMERGENCY In all Emergencies, dial 4444 from any phoning station, or use beeper (93) code 00 Read the Emergency Procedures more news QUICK LINKS * La Silla Paranal Observatory * La Silla Wiki * Paranal Facilities * APEX * Visitor Guidelines * Visitor Instrument * EFOSC2 Setup Form * Sky Quality Meter (SQM) CONTACT INFORMATION * Contact Overview * Paranal Contact List: * La Silla Contact List * APEX Contact List VISITING THE OBSERVATORY * Please read the details about Visiting the La Silla Paranal Observatory sites * Read more about La Silla and its History Last Update: 16.11.21 © ESO Send us your comments | Subscribe to Newsletter | Privacy Statement
