It is the main observatory in Venezuela . It is situated above the village of Llano del Hato close to Apartaderos in the Venezuelan Andes , about 50 kilometres north east of M rida, Venezuela Merida City , Merida State . This facility is the closest major optical observatory to the equator lying at 8 degrees and 47.51 minutes north. It therefore has access to large parts of both the northern and southern skies. It benefits from very dark skies and its altitude of 3,600 metres 12,000 feet above sea level means atmospheric turbulence is greatly reduced. It comes under the auspices of CIDA Centro de Investigaciones de Astronom a which is the main astronomical research body in Venezuela. CIDA conducts many projects in collaboration with other research bodies, academic institutions and international bodies. It also conducts valuable research in its own right and the observatory has an impressive record, including several important discoveries.
