Summer Activities in the Serranía de Cuenca Astronomical Park

A series of guided, educational observation activities are available for beginners in astronomy, at one with nature (the best place for it) and at the best time of the year: summer nights in the Serranía de Cuenca (Cuenca Highlands).

 

For further information, visit www.astrocuenca.es or send an email to buzon@astrocuenca.es.

 

Two types of activities:

 

Astronomical observations

 

These involve night-time observation lasting at least 2 hours, in places selected based on astronomical criteria. The observations will draw on a minimum of two telescopes, binoculars for astronomy, and include the presence of qualified monitors.

 

Mobile planetarium

 

An inflatable dome with a diameter of 5 metres and a maximum capacity for about 25 people will be installed in different municipalities. In the dome, Digitarium projectors, through a 360 lens, will allow us to view and listen to a series of astronomy programmes to learn about the night sky: the different constellations, nebulae, galaxies, and bodies of the solar system that will appear above us.
