Happy Birthday to the TNG (Telescopio Nazionale Galileo), the biggest Italian optical / infrared telescope located at the Roque de los Muchachos on the island of La Palma in the Canary Islands, Spain. Twenty-five years of Astronomy since the 3.58 mt telescope became operative on 1996 June 29th. Mirrors received a new optical treatment just few months ago so I wish long life to this telescope.

  1. Hi
    I also add my congratulations and wish you many more successful years of observing with this “rejuvenated” telescope. So, good luck.
    Regards
