Abstract
GREGOR will be a new 1.5 meter solar telescope at the Teide Observatory, Izana, Tenerife. It will provide observations with high polarimetric precision at visible and infra-red wavelengths from Earth in the solar photosphere and chromosphere with a resolution of 70 km on the Sun. GREGOR replaces the 45 cm Gregory Coude telescope.
