Abstract
We present a new testing facility hosted at the Coude focus of the INAF-Padova Copernico Telescope, a project carried on within the ADaptive Optics National Italian laboratories - ADONI. A permanent laboratory for on-sky experimentation accessible to the AO community, with the aim of hosting visiting multi-purpose instrumentation that may be directly tested on sky. We will give an overview of the activities carried on, describing the refurbishment activities at the hosting structure that allowed the opening of the facility: the implementation of the opto-mechanical train down to the Coude focus, and the creation of the laboratory. This facility provides a powerful scientific and technical test bench for new instrumental concepts, which may eventually be incorporated later in the next generation ELTs telescopes.
