Bellino Astronomical Observatory Openings

For the Bellino Astronomical Observatory, located in the hamlet of Celle in the municipality of Bellino (Province of Cuneo), 2025 was a year dedicated to renewal rather than public openings. Technical problems that made the equipment unusable necessitated a deep renovation, overseen by the Sideralis APS association.

With the support of the Municipality of Bellino and the Fondazione CR Saluzzo, a new pointing system was purchased and installed—a state-of-the-art equatorial mount designed to ensure superior precision and stability. These interventions paved the way for the return of stargazing evenings in the following season.
