Scientific paper

Almost two years have gone by since the first article on the ND written by my former colleague Wolfgang Richter appeared in the Messenger (1). In spite of the disruption due to the move from Geneva to Garching and the loss at that time of all the mechanics statt who had worked on ESO telescopes, we can, I think, be satisfied with the progress made. Quite fundamental to this progress is, of course, the funding. This depended on the entry of Switzerland and Italy (announced in the Messenger No. 27 and 28 respectively) into ESO. We in the ND team are particularly happy about these events, for otherwise the ND could not have become a "real" project with a "real" budget. The approved budget is about DM 24 million (1982), including transport and contingency, which is less than one third of the budget of the existing ESO 3.6 m telescope at La Silla (about DM 68 million - 1974).
