re: Observatories
Hi Jacob,
In Antwerp, there's Urania.
In the Ardennes, there are other observatories like this one.
They don't have the same telescope as Urania, and the thing is: how long a trip am I ready to do when the sky is clear and it's not too late and I'm not sure about their wheather one hour later ?
The lucky ones live in the Ardennes and have an open southwest horizon at their bedroom window, but that's rare for amateur astronomers!
