It is on indefinite loan to ESO from the Max Planck Gesellschaft. Two thirds of observing time is available to ESO observers. Operation and maintenance of the telescope is the responsibility of ESO. Location ======== The observatory location data given here are geodetic latitude and east longitude, based on values from the Astronomical Almanac, 1989. The geocentric site radius was determined using the MERIT 1983 earth figure, equatorial radius = 6378.137 km and flattening of the reference spheroid = 1/298.257. Latitude: -29.258 Degrees Longitude: -70.737 Degrees Earth radius at observatory: 6375.4 Kilometers" END_OBJECT = INSTRUMENT_HOST_INFORMATION OBJECT = INSTRUMENT_HOST_REFERENCE_INFO REFERENCE_KEY_ID = "N/A " END_OBJECT = INSTRUMENT_HOST_REFERENCE_INFO END_OBJECT = INSTRUMENT_HOST END
