See your named star from here
From the Böblingen district southwest of Stuttgart, the same principle that guides every observatory applies: a named star's coordinates stay fixed, so it can be located with a telescope from Baden-Württemberg as reliably as from anywhere else. Name a star and check its position in our catalogue.
Opening hours and public-visit programs vary by season. Check Google Maps for current times before you travel.
