About this activity
Its optimal conditions in terms of luminosity, climate, geography and position, make Chile the paradise of astronomy and sky observation.
Very close to the city of Santiago is one of the best observatories to look at the sky and the stars.
Depending on the time of year, you can see, through the 2 domes and 11 telescopes, different planets, stars, clusters, nebulae and our Moon in its different phases.
Also during the day, Venus and Mercury are observed many times in phases, Jupiter and its moons in permanent movement, Mars and Saturn with their rings, the Moon and several stars included, some of them double. These can be observed during the day at some times and times during the year, it is always important that it is clear.

3 solar telescopes, Lunt 152 mm, 80 mm and Coronado 40 mm
8 night telescopes observing different stars, moon and planets visible in broad daylight, which can be directed and focused to obtain the necessary clarity for each person. Depending on the time of year, month and time, planets and stars will be clear.

We invite you to be dazzled by the wonders of our Universe when observing with different telescopes, the stars, managing to focus, take pictures with your cell phones and go sailing and walking among the stars, trying different lenses and at the same time confirming the permanent movement of the land.
Play and look for interesting things, with a laser beam pointing somewhere in the space and looking with a seeker, understand in a very simple way the operation of different types of telescopes and getting in perspective of how small but yet trascendental we truly are.
