Abstract

Since two years a wide field prime focus camera is operating via remote control at the ESO 3.6m telescope. A description of this automatic plate and filter changer and the first tests of an automatic guider will be presented. The general plans for remote control of ESO instrumentation, including control from Europe, will be discussed.
