Hi,
Nice to hear you like the observatory place.

The university left this place about 20 years ago. When we visited it last weekend it was Sunday and no people there. Only the main building is in use today, it's a school. But there are two astronomy clubs that have permission to use the observatory biuldings, the Newton, Meridian and Schmidt. Maybe they will get the Newton telescope to be usable again. There are no professional work done here anymore.

There are also other buildings here, the old living quarters where the staff lived during observations. And a work shop, very advanced machine tools, but now moved to the new facility.

The last days I have added more text and corrected som in the observatory tour.

Did you see my earlier in deep report about the astrograph ?
