Two observing sites
The observatory runs two sites: the Toulouse dome, home to the main telescope, the wide-field refractor and the solar telescope, and the pic du Midi, where the association has a wide-field telescope.
The dome does not observe below 10 degrees above the horizon, in any direction: lower than that, the neighbouring roofs come into the field.
