The dark night sky at the Hohe Dirn location, allows a view of the wonders of the sky that would not be possible near the city and in the conurbations.
What is offered is only mere seeing through the telescope, but a lot of astronomical background knowledge. In the cosy control room, where you can also see the celestial objects live on a large flat screen, questions on the subject are also answered with pleasure.
