Victor Blanco 4-m Telescope

The Blanco 4-m telescope was commissioned in 1974. It is a near twin of the Mayall 4-m telescope on Kitt Peak. The wide field of the Blanco 4-m telescope, exploited with instruments such as Mosaic, Hydra, and ISPI,  - and DECam to come - complements the high resolution capabilities of SOAR and GEMINI.
