Vega-Sternwarte Salzburg, Astronomical observatory in Nußdorf am Haunsberg, Austria
The observatory occupies a hilltop location at 800 meters elevation, featuring two domes housing advanced telescopes for astronomical research and observation.
The facility opened in August 2018 as part of the Haus der Natur Salzburg, replacing a smaller observatory previously located in Voggenberg.
The astronomy working group of Haus der Natur operates the observatory, conducting scientific research and organizing educational programs for the public.
Public guided tours take place on Mondays, while the observatory space can be rented for scientific events and conferences starting at 1700 euros.
The observatory contains Austria's third largest telescope, a Ritchey-Chrétien-Cassegrain with a one-meter mirror diameter and seven-meter focal length.
