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