Summary edit

Description
English: This historical image was taken around 1970 from the La Silla dormitories, located lower on the mountain than the telescope domes. The photo looks up towards the highest point of the mountain, on the left. The metallic structure visible near the top of this peak is not a telescope, but a water tank for the site. The white dome in the centre of the image is that of the ESO 1-metre Schmidt telescope, which started work in February 1972. On the far right of the image is the ESO 1-metre telescope, just visible over the ridge, and to the left of that one can just see the top of the Grand Prisme Objectif telescope.
