HOSTING

Technical Characteristics of the Sky

The Los Coloraos Astronomical Complex is located at an approximate altitude of 1,000 meters above sea level, in an area with very low light pollution, officially certified as a protected sky.

  • Average Seeing: 1.3” – 1.8”.

  • Operational Capacity: More than 250 clear nights per year.

  • Atmospheric Conditions: Low relative humidity and high atmospheric stability.

  • Horizon: Clear horizon and total absence of direct light sources.

These conditions make this enclave an optimal location for both professional and semi-professional astronomical observation.

      1. Site conditions

      Sky cuality

      • Altitude: ~1,000 m above sea level.
      • Average seeing: 1.3‘ – 1.8’ (stable for most of the year).
      • Transparency: high, due to low humidity and absence of aerosols.
      • Relative humidity: low average values, especially on clear nights.
      • Light pollution: extremely low; certified dark sky area.
      • Average number of operational nights per year: > 250.

      Astronomical advantages of the enclave

      • Low nighttime temperature gradient (less local turbulence).
      • Open horizon in most areas.
      • Absence of direct and diffuse light sources.

      1. Services included

      Operation and maintenance

      • Initial physical installation and functional verification.
      • Periodic preventive maintenance (with mechanical checks, primary visual collimation, surface cleaning and connectivity testing).
      • Basic equipment recovery interventions (restarts, cable reconnection, minor readjustments).

      Segurity

      • Protected perimeter.
      • Controlled physical access (authorised personnel only).
      • Automatic emergency shutdown on all modules.
