LA SILLA FACILITIES

La Silla, in the southern part of the Atacama desert, 600 km north of Santiago
de Chile and at an altitude of 2400 metres is the home of ESO's original
observing site.

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.
