Show HN: Astrobservatories – A map of observatories around the world

https://astrobservatories.com/
1•vmeklis•1h ago
Hello everyone I am an astronomy and astrophotography enthusiast. Lately I've had a weird obsession with observatories (like the Vera Rubin or the Extremely Large Telescope). However, I couldn't find a website that has all of them in a map or a comprehensive list. So it was the perfect opportunity to use my unused Fable 5 tokens. The list of the observatories I gathered using ChatGPT Deep Research with GPT 5.6 - Sol. As for the manual work, I will start gathering images for each observatory to upload, and also see if I have missed anything. Any input is appreciated
