There are a number of both historical and modern telescopes at Lund Observatory. Usually these are used for teaching purposes but every now and then the astronomers decide to stay at work late into the evening in order to give members of the public the chance for some stargazing.
This spring three such events were organized and this was well received by the public. People of all ages stopped by and got to see the craters on the surface of the Moon, Mars and Venus through the teaching telescope.
Meanwhile the larger telescope, which goes under the name of 'Arnes öga' was pointed at galaxies and stellar clusters, and people could see how astronomers take long exposure images of these deep sky objects.
