Abstract
The VLT Survey Telescope (VST) is the latest telescope installed at ESO's Paranal Observatory in northern Chile. The exceptional quality of this site imposes tight requirements on the telescope performance in terms of pointing modeling and tracking. This paper describes the control strategy and the results obtained during the commissioning of the telescope. 2012 SPIE.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
