Givatayim Observatory, Astronomical observatory in Givatayim, Israel.
The observatory contains a primary 16-inch Meade LX200 Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope for astrophotography and a secondary 12-inch telescope for public observations.
The Israeli Astronomical Association and Givatayim municipality established this scientific facility in 1968 to promote astronomical research and public education.
