Two more premium telescopes arrive at the observatory
We were frequently requested by amateur astronomers to offer telescopes specifically for astrophotography, of course to take advantage of the clear skies we use to have on site, but also because of our privilegied latitude (30° South), that makes the southern wonders appear at higher altitudes than in more northern areas in Chile.
So it's done now, with the set up of two large telescopes that will be ready for advanced astrophotography programmes. Check our menu for further details...
