2000 News I will gladly accept news contributions and will post new items as I become aware of them. I would be interested in soliciting news items that cover topics of current interest.
Suggestions are welcome.
For more information on adaptive optics at ESO, see the ESO Adaptive Optics Team Homepage. Very Large Telescope for a good general overview of new instruments and commissioning dates.
