Tiny Observatory in Wilhelmshaven, GE. In November/December 2023 we were able to perform long term sky brightness measurements. The measurement rack can be seen left to the dome.

The Tiny Observatory is a joint project of the University of Oldenburg, LEB Lower Saxony and local astronomy clubs in Nort-Western Germany. It was founded by the German Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF) in 2023. Right from the beginning we extended it as mobile station for our KID project as it offers the unique option to measure with a set of fixed detectors under varying skies.
