General Information

The 2.2m-telescope on La Silla is a twin of the 2.2m-telescope on Calar Alto. A new agreement between MPIA and ESO is in place, and regulates access to the telescope during the April 1, 2009 - March 31, 2013, period. The GROND group can trigger up to 15% of the time with over-write status during this time. The instruments available are the Wide-Field Imager, FEROS and GROND.  Users of GROND please see GROND description and  preparation of GROND OBs.

MPIA observers and PIs please see
information for PIs and service observers from MPIA

Please check the ESO home page for up to date information.

To monitor progress and status of your observations please refer to the ESO-Website.
