CXIELO Observatory




Looking at the nights sky is an experience touching everybody deeply inside, something common to all human beeings independent to the language spoken by the individuals. CXIELO means 'Sky' in Esperanto, a universal language first published by L. L. Zamenhof in 1887.


CXIELO Observatory is a remote-observatory located in Southern France and is a member of ROSA (Remote Observatories Southern Alps), founded 2008 by Daniel Marquardt and Karel Teuwen. It is a rolloff-roof observatory hosting an RCOS 14.5" scope carried by an ASA DDM85 mount. The image-train consists of an RCOS PIR (precision instrument rotator) and an Apogee U16M CCD camera, using Astrodon Gen2 LRGB and Ha (5nm), OIII (3nm) and SII (5nm) filters. An Astrodon MonsterMOAG with Starlight Xpress Lodestar enables guiding in front of the filters.
