The AlbaNova telescope

The installation of a new telescope at AlbaNova is under way. Public shows of the telescope will resume in 2026.

The new telescope was lifted to the roof of AlbaNova in September 2025, and installation of the system is now under way. More info on the telescope and future public shows will be posted on this page later.
