2. CALL FOR PROPOSALS FOR SCIENCE DEMONSTRATION OBSERVATIONS WITH MAD

Following the encouraging results obtained during the testing runs of the Multi-Conjugate Adaptive-Optics Demonstrator (MAD) instrument, ESO has decided to make the instrument available to the community for two Science Demonstration runs of 7 nights each. Proposals for observations to be carried out within this framework are now invited. For more details, see: http://www.eso.org/sci/activities/vltsv/.
Please note that the proposal deadline is September 1, 2007.

3. SCISOFT VII NOW AVAILABLE

The latest version of the bundle, Scisoft VII for Linux Fedora Core 6 (and compatible systems), is now available for download. This includes many updates as well as some additional features, including Virtual Observatory software tools. More details and links are at
