Sydney Observatory

Osservatorio Astronomico Sidney, Australia

Non perderti la bellezza del cielo stellato visto da vicino Sydney Observatory

L'Osservatorio di Sydney è situato nel cuore di Sydney, in Australia, in cima ad una collina oggi nota come Observatory Hill. Il sito, nato come fortezza costruita sulla Windmill Hill agli inizi del XIX secolo, è stato trasformato in osservatorio astronomico nel corso del XIX secolo. Oggi funge da museo dove i visitatori serali hanno la possibilità di osservare le stelle e i pianeti attraverso un moderno telescopio Schmidt-Cassegrain da 40 cm e attraverso un telescopio rifrattore d'epoca da 29 cm. Quest'ultimo risale al 1874 ed è il più antico telescopio tuttora in uso in Australia.

Looking for a place to Enjoy the Night sky? The Sydney Observatory is the best place, with professionals giving you a tour around the Observatory you can get more than just Gazing the night sky through a telescope. Their projector room is one of the best features. Not to forget that they have two fully operational and well maintained telescope that gives you the ultimate experience. ( Just keep an eye on the weather). Overall it is wonderful place to visit.

Unluckily, it was a little cloudy on the night we went, so we didn't get to see anything apart from Saturn. But even that was worth the price of the night tour for us. It was amazing. The rest of the museum was fascinating, the staff were extremely friendly, knowledgeable and helpful and even just the views of the city were great. When you go into the little planetarium, try to sit directly opposite the entrance. We'll definitely be back one day to see more planets.
