Scientific paper

In November 1995, the La Silla 2000 working group of the Scientific Technical Committee (STC) as well as the Observing Programmes Committee (OPC) identified a very strong demand by the ESO community for wide-field imaging (0.5-2 degrees) capabilities (cf. Andersen, J. 1996: The Messenger, No. 83, p. 48). In all major areas of research, the primary driver was the identification and preselection of candidate targets for more in-depth studies with the VLT (see also: Renzini, A. 1998: The Messenger, No. 91, p. 54). The OPC report remarked: In any case, an array of CCDs of 8000 ´ 8000 will have to be constructed: This is feasible but will not be a small undertaking.
