Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory
(CTIO)
(NOIRLab observatory in Chile with Blanco telescope)
The Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO)
in Chile is a NOIRLab (formerly, NOAO) site.
It is NOIRLab's southern-hemisphere equivalent to the
northern-hemisphere Kitt Peak National Observatory (KPNO).
CTIO hosts more than thirty telescopes, including the
Víctor M. Blanco Telescope, SOAR Telescope,
the CTIO Schmidt Camera and the CTIO 1.5m telescope.
The designator CTIO has been used for observations,
particularly for a photometry study of stars in
the Local Group galaxy, NGC 6822.
