heal.abstract	The National Observatory of Athens (N.O.A.) will install a new, advanced technology 2.3-m telescope in Greece. A favoured location for the installation of the new telescope is the top of Mount Chelmos. We present preliminary results concerning the conditions at this site. It is found that the site has a quite dark sky, a good percentage of clear nights (about 60%) and very good seeing conditions.	en
