| Abstract: |
Jürgen Stock (1923-2004) will always be remembered for his work on
astronomical site testing. He led the efforts to find the best place
for CTIO, and his work had a large influence in the setting of other
observatories in Chile. He was the first director of CTIO (1963-1966).
After his time in Chile, he moved to the other end of the Andes and was
in charge of the site selection and the construction of the only
professional observatory in Venezuela, the Llano del Hato National Observatory. |
