Soundscape: Paranal UT3 hand over


Most communications at the observatory are via radio. Around sunset, radios are buzzing frequently to inform the status of the telescopes and its instruments for the upcoming observations. This audio (in Spanish) features a typical conversation at this time of the day where the day shift staff hands over the telescope to the person in charge of operating the telescopes and their instruments during observations, the Telescope Instrument Operator (TIO), asking how would s/he want to leave the telescope: on line or standby. Also, the staff reports there are visitors inside the telescope, and that he will inform as soon as they leave. No one can enter a telescope without prior authorization by a telescope responsible, and when leaving, a notice also needs to be given.
