Scientific paper

The first visiting astronomers to the 3.6-m telescope are expected to show up sometime in October 1977. Continuing the Messenger series of descriptions of the various parts of the large telescope, Dr. Svend Lorensen from ESO/Geneva here intraduces the control system for which he has written the software. Unlike most of the mechanical parts of the telescope, the contral programme will interact directly with the observers and it is of great importance that it is "astronomer-friendly". Those who have used the system so far are very happy with its performance and it is good to know that further improvements can easily be inserted into the very flexible system whenever this will be required.
