A tough one from #ESO: In https://www.eso.org/public/images/potw2327a/ they show a current airborne view of #LaSilla and ask "How many telescopes can you spot?" - and point to a very much outdated map of this Chilean observatory for guidance. E.g. the prominent three #BlackGEM telescopes are recent additions.
