Sydney Observatory

Sydney Observatory is situated on a slope now known as Observatory Hill in the focal point of Sydney.[1] The site developed from a fortress based on 'Windmill Hill' in the mid nineteenth century to a cosmic observatory amid the nineteenth century. It is currently a working exhibition hall where evening guests can watch the stars and planets through a cutting edge 40 cm schmidt-cassegrain telescope and a memorable 29 cm refractor telescope assembled in 1874,

An early observatory was built up in 1788 on Dawes Point, at the foot of Observatory Hill, in an eventually unsuccessful endeavor to see in 1790 the arrival of a comet proposed by Edmond Halley of Halley's Comet distinction. [5] The Colony's second observatory was set up at Parramatta in 1821 by Governor Sir Thomas Brisbane.
