Scientific paper

Following my article, l received a most interesting e-mail from my ex-colleague of ESO and good friend, Daniel Enard. He was concerned about the precise chronology of the development of the ESO Shack-Hartmann image analyser - see the second section of my article. Enard pointed out that he and l first visited Roland Shack together in February 1976, before the 3.6 m telescope was set up some months later. Already before then I knew of the Shack proposal as I had been receiving the “Optical Sciences Center Newsletter”, in which it was first published in 1971 (see Ref. W99 in my article). This was why we visited Shack to learn more about it. Shack complained bitterly of lack of interest in the American community and was encouraged by our deep and practical interest.
