Asteroid 4 Vesta has been imaged in the Near-Infrared using the ESO 3.6-m telescope equipped with the Come-On-Plus adaptive optics system. The result of these observations is the first mineralogic map of a minor planet obtained from ground-based observations. We will discuss the data acquisition and reduction techniques that we used and developed, and present our ground-based observational prospects.
