Educational / Workgroup observers

A working group around practical astronomical observations groups all enthusiasts who wants to learn to discover and observe the sky or want to share their observational expertise. When skies are clear the telescopes from the observatory are taken outside for observations. If weather is too bad to observe an alternative programme is organised. Always the observation of the sky, observation techniques and instruments are discussed. All members of the ‘Volkssterrenwacht Beisbroek vzw’ association can join the workshops.

Telescopes

If the planetarium forms the heart of the Cozmix visitor centre, the telescopes form the sensitive eyes of the observatory. The 2 large telescopes in the observatory tower allow to have a closer look at a multitude of astronomical objects.

Cozmix is the visitor centre of the Public Observatory Beisbroek (Bruges). A visit to Cozmix is a real thrill where individual visitors and groups are welcomed. You can admire the sky by day and by night. With our telescopes you can discover the moon, the planets, spectacular nebulae and distant galaxies. On our dome shaped projection screen in the planetarium, not only the stars and constellations are shown, but also the most spectacular video shows accompanied by appropriate music are projected with the full dome video system. Resulting in a unique audio visual sensation. Fly with us over the surface of Mars, and through the rings of Saturn !
