During the night observation sessions with the telescope, the intensity of the publich lighting on the main square of San Tomaso Agordino is adjustable, so as not to interfere with the observation of the stars. The altitude, the position and the shortage of population of the village also have a positive impact on the observation of stars, given the very low light pollution.

The “Emigranti” Provincial Astronomical Center is open to the public with guided tours on Friday from 20:30 to 22:00 and on other dates on reservation (see contacts below). If you’re keen on astronomy, don’t miss a marvelous experience and visit the “Emigranti” Provincial Astronomical Center in San Tomaso Agordino!
