Smog. Light Pollution.

The Royal Observatory became a casualty of these things sixty years ago. The site has been a museum all of this time, with no working telescope and no science being done.

...until now.

With the arrival of the Annie Mauder Astrographic Telescope, the Royal Observatory is an observatory once more. The telescope, a complex of four instruments, will focus primarily on visible light observations of the sun...a tradition of the observatory and the work done by Annie Mauder herself, the first woman to work at the observatory in the late nineteenth century.
