About Starlab Observatory
Public information on Starlab Observatory is limited. What's confirmed is that it operates under RAN, the Russian Academy of Sciences, though details on its founding date, instruments, and specific research programme aren't publicly documented in a way we can verify.
Location & getting there
The observatory sits in Russia, in a region that spans the boundary often classed as Asia, at coordinates placing it in the country's southern reaches.
Visiting Starlab Observatory
As an academy-run facility, Starlab Observatory may not have a public visitor programme in the way amateur clubs often do. Anyone hoping to visit should look for current contact details through the Russian Academy of Sciences before planning a trip.
See your named star from here
Wherever a research telescope happens to be pointed, the coordinates of a named star stay the same, so with the right equipment it's still possible to find one from Starlab Observatory's part of the sky. Check the star catalogue for your star's exact position.
Opening hours and public-visit programs vary by season. Check Google Maps for current times before you travel.
