Optimized Scientific Observations with TNG: Flexible Scheduling and Advanced Instruments

The TNG (Telescopio Nazionale Galileo) offers an ideal facility for flexible scheduling, allowing for quick transitions between observing modes and configurations. With the capacity for changes within five minutes at the same focal station and less than 25 minutes to switch the Nasmyth platform, TNG is always ready for scientific observations. It features versatile instruments such as TNG-DOLORES, TNG-SARG, and TNG-NICS, catering to a variety of observational needs, making it one of the most cost-effective 4m-class telescopes in Europe.

  4. TNG: flexible scheduling 4 optimized instruments always on-line and available for scientific observations. Relatively quick change between observing modes/configurations/instruments: ~5 min within the same focal station, <=25 min to “change the Nasmyth”. Ideal facility for flexible scheduling & queuing observations. I
