Scientific paper

VISTA, the Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy, is a 4-m class 1.65-degree wide field near-IR survey telescope with 0.34 arcsec pixels. VISTA was successfully commissioned and has been making surveys since 15 October 2009, and was formally accepted as a part of ESO's Cerro Paranal Observatory on 10 December 2009. We summarise the design and build process, report on commissioning and the as-built status. The most novel aspects of the system design have proved to all work well. We report the measured on-sky system performance that confirms that VISTA works as expected.
