Publisher's blurb:
For as long as humans have kept records we have been gazing at the night sky and trying to make sense of what we see, wondering what is out there and what we can learn from it. Observatories date back to the ancient world but the observatory depicted here was most probably built in the 19th century. The observatory may well still be in use through the 20th and 21st centuries although its equipment, and hence the use of some of its rooms, may have altered over time.
The remoteness of observatories make them ideal settings for mysteries or for horror scenarios where the isolation can be used to heighten tension and reduce the parties reliance on calling for help. They can also make excellent settings for near future SF scenarios or even post-apocalyptic adventures. Ruined or abandoned observatories can also be fascinating settings for adventures. Anything or anyone may have moved into the abandoned observatory, either by legal purchasing it or by other means.
The observatory depicted here is a large one, it sports two optical telescope domes, a large and a small one.
