Computing @ La Silla

During the time of your observations, you are also welcome to use the powerful workstations installed at the Control room telescope, on which your data are automatically transfered. Laptop computers can be hooked to the network in the computer room, in your bed room and at the Control room telescope, using the DHCP protocol. However, please note that any MS-window PC MUST be scanned by the system manager (Control Room building, lower floor) BEFORE being connected to the network.
