VLT coude focus
When the CONICA instrument on ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT) is used the light reaches the CONICA instrument at the coude focus, at the base of the telescope. This 360 degree panorama image shows the VLT's coude focus.
A diagram of how the coude focus relates to the rest of the telescope can be found here.
