ULTRA Observatory

Set in Jiangsu province on China's eastern coast, ULTRA Observatory is one of many astronomical sites recorded across Asia's growing network of research and amateur stations.

About ULTRA Observatory

Detailed public records on ULTRA Observatory's instruments, staff and research programme are scarce, and Star Register could not independently verify further operational details beyond its confirmed location. What is clear is that it forms part of the broader astronomical landscape of Jiangsu, a province better known for its historic cities than its telescopes, but home to a number of smaller observing sites.

Location & getting there

Jiangsu sits along China's populous eastern seaboard, within reach of major cities such as Nanjing and Suzhou. The province's flat, low-lying terrain and dense population mean skies here are typically brighter than at remote mountain sites, though the observatory remains a point of local astronomical interest.

Visiting ULTRA Observatory

Star Register has not been able to confirm public opening hours, ticketing or tour arrangements for ULTRA Observatory. If you're planning a trip, check current visitor information with local astronomy societies or Chinese-language sources before you travel.

A named star's coordinates work anywhere on Earth, including from Jiangsu. If you'd like to name a star for someone, or browse existing entries in the star catalogue, its right ascension and declination can, in principle, be pointed to from any observing site with a clear night sky.
