Observatory and permanent telescope setups

Planning a rooftop observing area or an observatory: site, telescope and mount choice, installation and training.

For schools, colleges and institutions that want a permanent place to observe.

What planning covers

  • The site: horizon, nearby lights and heat sources, safe access, power and security.
  • The instruments: telescope and mount sized for the site and the users - from a fixed pier on a rooftop to a motorised GoTo system.
  • Installation: mounting, alignment and a first-light session.
  • Training and support: for the staff who will run it, and ongoing servicing.

Pakistan Science Club's own plans

Pakistan Science Club is working towards an observatory where made-in-Pakistan telescopes will be available for public use - the same experience we bring to institutions.

Next step

Every site is different, so this starts with a conversation and a site assessment. Tell us about your institution and what you have in mind.
