Experience the night sky through our telescopes with guided stargazing evenings and private observatory sessions.
Visit our Observatory
Experience the magic of the night sky at our Astronomical Observatory, where our astronomers bring the cosmos to life with views of distant stars and spectacular solar activity. Take part in our scheduled stargazing events or create your own private session for a personalised and unforgettable journey among the stars.
Our main instrument is a Planewave CDK350 (14") telescope with precision optics and direct-drive technology. It can locate any celestial object in the sky and, coupled with its high-definition camera, stream images live inside the Dome theatre, on our Amphitheatre screen or even online. With it we observe the surface of the Moon, the planets of our Solar System and distant galaxies and nebulae millions of light years away.
Our Sky-Watcher SkyMax-102 AZ-Go2 is a compact Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope with a 102mm aperture and 1300mm focal length, designed for detailed views of the Moon and planets. With its robotic GoTo mount it automatically locates and tracks celestial objects, making it ideal for night events at the Planetarium. Through it visitors enjoy crisp views of Jupiter's cloud bands and moons, Saturn's rings, and highly detailed lunar landscapes. The SkyMax performs best at up to 200x magnification, depending on atmospheric conditions.
Our Bresser AC 60/900 Classic AZ is a lightweight achromatic refractor telescope, perfect for beginners and public stargazing nights. With a 60mm aperture and 900mm focal length, it offers clear views of the Moon, Saturn's rings, Jupiter's moons and even some of the brighter deep-sky objects. Upgraded with a Sky-Watcher Star Discovery AZ SynScan WiFi GoTo mount, it provides easy operation, precise control and automatic object tracking. Best used under 100x magnification for crisp, enjoyable views for visitors of all ages.
