Archenhold Observatory, Berlin - a photo on Flickriver

Archenhold Observatory, Berlin

Panoramic view of the Great Refractor of the Archenhold Observatory in Berlin, Germany. This telescope has an aperture of 68 cm, a focal length of 21 meters and a moving mass of 130 tons.

Unlike most other large telescopes, the Graet Rafractor at the Archenhold Observatory is not housed in a dome, as you can see in this image. As this instrument looks more like a cannon than like a telescope, the popular name of it is "sky cannon". To see this giant telescope in motion, take a look at this video.
