Welcome to the ESO Phase 2 web-pages.

 

If you landed here, it likely means that your Phase1 proposal has been approved. Congratulations!

​

On these pages you will find a complete guide on how to prepare your observations. We call this phase the ESO Phase 2. The ESO User Support department will assist you in this process by providing a large and complete variety of information, tutorials and examples together with a direct contact channel.

​

The observation preparation differs slightly for users who have been granted Service Mode observations versus observers who will travel to the telescope for their Visitor Mode observations or who have time allocated in designated Visitor Mode.  The backbone of all observations (with the exception of APEX, see APEX Service Mode Preparation) are the Observation Blocks (OBs) which one prepares with the Phase 2 web-based application p2.

Follow one of the links below to prepare the observations of the approved observing mode.
