Astronomy

The Observatorio de Buzios is the home of a 14" Celestron Compustar
computer-controlled telescope housed in a 3-meter Ash-Dome cupola
affording 360º, zenith-to-horizon, views of the southern skies.   It’s one of
the largest privately-owned telescopes in South America, and the largest in
our region of Rio de Janeiro.

Buzios offers good viewing conditions, especially in the April-November dry
season when skies tend to be clearer than in the heat of the summer rainy
season.  While we are not in the middle of the desert, light pollution is
significantly better here than in any city.
