The VLT Survey Telescope or VST is a proposed 2.5m telescope with a wide field imager intended to aid the VLT in its scientific aims, and would be located at the same site as the VLT in Chile
It is planned to have a 1 arcminute field of view and aiming to reach magnitudes as faint as R of 25. It would work primarily on surveys of large areas of the sky from which individual targets could be selected for closer study using the greater power of the 4 8m class telescopes that make up the VLT.
