Description:
    The ESO Science Archive Catalog contains a log of observations
    performed with the ESO telescopes. Currently available in the
    observation log are the data from the VLT, NTT, MPG/ESO 2.2m, and the
    ESO 3.6m telescopes. The observations themselves are stored in an
    off-line archive and have a proprietary period of one year. After this
    period the archival data sets are available to the general
    astronomical community of the ESO member states and Chile.
