GRASの新しい望遠鏡があるスペインのNerpioってどんなところかなとgoogleってみたら、おぉ、結構山奥です。
AstroCampというサイトから
Welcome to AstroCamp, the first observatory hosting site and robotic telescope service in Europe. We are members of GRAS network, together with New Mexico and Australia sites.
We expect to open our 1st PlaneWave CDK17" scope early 2010 followed by a 20N ASA astrograph.
Our main site is on top of Sierra de las Cabras, at 1970m altitud and enjoining the darker and southern light unpolluted area of Europe.
ほう。

Nerpio City Council submitted to the Board a project for the creation of an Interpretation Center of the Universe
