As a member of the Observing Committee you get to become an expert at using the historic telescopes of the Old Observatory to take a beautiful close-up peek at objects on our nightsky. During the trainings organised by us you learn how to handle the instruments and how to get around the building of the observatory. The main goal of this committee is to enable fellow members to get a chance to use the telescopes too by organising observing nights – with the help of the members of the observing guild.
