  1. The La Palma site ~1996

  2. 2005 TNG GTC

  3. ~2015 ?? WHT TNG ELT

  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

  5. TNG-DOLORES A versatile multi-mode optical instrument I

  6. TNG-SARG A stable and optimized HR optical spectrometer I

  7. TNG-NICS An efficient, versatile IR instrument with unique features I
