Abstract

The sky is not all the same. Observers have favorite regions where most telescope time is spent while others are apparently ignored. To quantifythis predilection we constructed an all-sky distribution of VLTpointings and found the existence of a well defined unpopular region, a~20' band above and below the Galactic plane, where the VLT rarely spends any time.
