In Paranal (Chile), Eso is getting the VLT ready to install our DSM system
Microgate's VLT-DSM project is proceeding with its assembly and integration phase. By the UT4 Telescope of VLT Observatory in Paranal (Chile) it is started the preparations for the new Adaptive Optics Facility (AOF). This project will convert UT4 into a fully adaptive telescope. The AOF will correct for the blurring effects of the Earth’s atmosphere and will allow much sharper images to be achieved with the HAWK-I and MUSE instruments.

ESO has dedicated his last ESOCast to the Adaptive Optics technology (in this case referred to primary mirror).
