Slide 1 of 3
During a lunar eclipse, there was an open event in this observatory. People went there and used their telescopes to see the eclipse, I used one of the telescopes too, it was really beautiful. Afterwards, we took a tour inside the observatory, It is a well-equipped observatory, including two advanced sky domes with two telescopes. The observatory is located at a hill named "Haj-Inayat" hill. The hill itself is a great place for cityscape photography. However, the hill is not crowded most of the time, and you may find yourself alone there, so be cautious, especially when you carry your camera or mobile phone!!!
Courses like "a course in universe's structure" or "an introduction to Celestial mechanics" and some other interesting courses and meetings are held in the observatory in which you can learn sth useful and as well have fun
Great observatory but it wasn't open!!

Visitors have the opportunity to observe events like lunar eclipses through advanced telescopes, take tours inside the well-equipped observatory with two sky domes, and participate in courses on topics like universe's structure and celestial mechanics.

The community used to be active, which made it a hell of a place. Under new incompetent management, there isn't anything much you'd expect to see.

It was neither so modern nor so old. It's so interesting.
