Kath · Mar 1 2009, 10:20 AM

They all blur after a while.... I can think of a lot of pro sites that this reminds me of, but it could just as easily be amateur.

Is it in the vicinity of a professional observatory?

Since we have two correct PM'a already and I was the one to post Canary Islands I'll also ask:

Is it the Teide Observatory?

Lanen · Mar 3 2009, 04:55 AM

Isaac Newton Group?

AnnMarie · Mar 3 2009, 07:24 AM

Hans, there are three observatories.. which one?
Lanan...no, not the Newtons

***Hans*** · Mar 3 2009, 11:02 AM

Ugh... the slooh one with the new domes

It's called Teide Observatory everywhere I look

and the wikipedia article lists more names/objects/telescopes etc. than three

Greenrider Tresa · Mar 3 2009, 02:39 PM

The Optical Telescope Array?
Sometimes using the address bar as a search bar pays off... all those types, and pictures too...

AnnMarie · Mar 3 2009, 03:30 PM

YEAH HANS! It is just called Slooh-Teide

***Hans*** · Mar 3 2009, 03:52 PM

Ah...

The clamshell domes are very interesting and photogenic!
