We are spoilt!
From our remote location, in the countryside of Oria, we have some fantastic views
Here you can see compass point views as seen from the observatories.
IC Astronomy North Views
This is our view to the North:
Our darkest view, we have nothing but mountains between us and the small town of Orce which is about 45km away.
IC Astronomy East Views
To the East:
Here we have our local town of Oria, 14km away and shielded from us by our mountain range.
IC Astronomy South Views
South view:
Our view to the South heads straight towards the Calar Alto Telescope complex.
The next town is Olula Del Rio which, as the crow flies, is about 30km away and over two mountain ranges.
IC Astronomy West Views
West view:
Heading West we have the small town of Cullar, 22km away and down at about 800m - quite a bit lower than us and again shielded from us by the mountains.
