1246639] WRONG!!! Go review the specs of the VLT again and you'll see that the possible resolution is much higher.
.
Quoting: Not really, to have higher resolution, VLT has to be used as interferometer. And in this configuration, "Additionally, the interferometric technique is such that it is very efficient only of objects that are small enough that all their light is concentrated. For instance, an object with a relatively low surface brightness such as the moon cannot be observed, because its light is too diluted. Only targets which are at temperatures of more than 1,000°C have a surface brightness high enough to be observed in the mid-infrared, and objects must be at several thousands of degrees Celsius for near-infrared observations using the VLTI."
