TÉLESCOPE JEAN-MARC SALOMON
Go there and contact
The amateur observatory Jean-Marc Solomon (in tribute to a precursor to the diffusion of amateur science and astronomy in France, disappeared far too soon) is probably the most beautiful of Ile-de-France. It is in the heart of the Buthiers Leisure Island that it is located, very close to the Fontainebleau Forest, in a natural environment conducive to relaxation, sport and outdoor activities. It was funded by the Regional Council of Ile-de-France, the Jean-Marc Solomon Foundation, and the Ministry of Higher Education and Research. The equipment at its disposal is state-of-the-art, with a 600 mm telescope in a particularly high-performance dome, and smaller mobile instruments, which are used in particular during public evenings when there are many people at the observatory. The activities proposed on the spot have names to say the least… Interstellar travel (to leave for one night of observations under dome travel to celestial wonders), 1.2.3-star training (to learn the sky according to three different levels of deepening: introduction to astronomy, learn to use well and settle its telescope, learn to photograph astronomical objects), and of course the great classics such as the Stars of Stars during which the small dishes are placed in the big to accommodate as much audience as possible, the constellations, the main celestial objects, etc.
