I.A.U. 476 Grange Observatory Service Page

Grange Observatory is a private scientific institution located in Northern Italy near Turin (details here), whose coordinates are:

Latitude = 45° 08' 31" N
Longitude = 7° 08' 29" E
Height a.s.l. = 470 m
(see the map below for precisely locating it)

The observatory is devoted to astrometry (i.e. the accurate measurement of Solar System's moving celestial bodies, like comets and asteroids), collaborating with the International Astronomical Union's Minor Planet Center of Cambridge, MA, U.S.A.
See for example two 5 minutes images of comet C/1998 M5 "LINEAR" taken during Sep 18th, 1998 session (30 minutes interval) stacked together and animated:

Comet C/1998 M5 imaged on Sep. 18th, 1998

This facility has been provided to have the possibility to update a real time page, in which the observatory's current activity is reported from time to time; it is possible to exchange messages and data using the address grangeobs@yahoo.com.
