Boyden Observatory from the air

Boyden Observatory, situated at Mazelspoort, 25 km from Bloemfontein, is owned by the Dept of Physics of the University of the Free State. Observing facilities include a recently upgraded 1.52-m telescope, a 0.41-m telescope, a 0.33-m refractor and a 0.20-m solar installation.

In 2004 November, Juan Olivier of 87 Helicopter Flight School (Bloemspruit), and a member of the ASSA Bloemfontein Centre, took a series of aerial photographs of the Boyden facility, which he has kindly made available. For permission to use these images, contact The Friends of Boyden Observatory .
