The 16 m Very Large Telescope project was approved including four 8m telescopes with thin (15 to 20 cm) meniscus shaped mirrors supported by 300 motorized supports and controlled by a computer on the basis of continuous monitoring of the image quality. The 15m Swedish ESO Submillimeter Telescope was completed, tested, and observed. The 3.5 m New Technology Telescope was assembled and tested. The IR photometers and the wobbing secondary were installed at the 2.2 m telescope. The appearance of the supernova in the Large Magellanic Cloud (SN 1987A) led to a large change in observing programs. In sky survey, plates were taken for all 606 fields of the ESO-R survey.
