Solar Eclipse Visitors (1Dec93)
(from CTIO, NOAO Newsletter No. 36, 1 December 1993)

We have been receiving many requests to visit Cerro Tololo during the
time of the 3 November 1994 solar eclipse.  This eclipse will be total
in the North of Chile and partial in La Serena. Exceptionally, the
Director has allowed visits to the Observatory on Saturdays and Sundays
the weekends before and after the eclipse. (Normally we only have them
on Saturdays.) There will be two guided tours a day, one from 9:00 am
to 12:00 pm and the other commencing at 01:00 pm and ending at 04:00
pm.  Since we do not have large reception areas, we can only host a
maximum of 50 people at a time. We would be grateful if you would
advise anyone you might know who is thinking of visiting Cerro Tololo,
that our facilities are open to the public only if arranged in advance.
We grant space on a first-come first-serve basis; roughly 40% of the
space has been reserved as of October 1993. Thanks!

Elaine Mac-Auliffe
