The sky, right now
Can we observe, and at which site
The observatory runs two sites, and they do not answer together. The Toulouse dome carries the instruments; at the pic du Midi the association has a wide-field telescope and no sensors of its own on site.
Pick a site: everything below concerns that site alone, from the weather verdict to the cameras. A reading that is green throughout means the sky is usable; as soon as one line turns amber or red, that line alone stops the night.
Toulouse dome: 43.5632 N · 1.4685 E · 160 m. Main telescope, wide-field refractor and solar telescope.

The sky map
What is up right now, above this site. The map follows the clock. It loads only when you ask: it weighs more than the rest of this page put together. To prepare an observation, go to Prepare an observation.
Drag to look around. The map follows the clock and shows the whole sky visible from here, horizon included, so it does not zoom. To frame a target in an instrument, see Prepare an observation.
See for yourself
Two cameras watch the dome, one facing north, the other west. They open during public sessions only. No camera filming people is ever published.
The camera is installed on site but not yet wired in. Nothing is broadcast from it for now.
Nothing is loaded until you ask: no stream leaves the observatory, and your address reaches no one, as long as you do not press play.
