Summary

Description

The Crimean Astrophysical Observatory on mount Koshka (the Cat) near the little town of Simeiz.

The 40-cm double astrograph and 122-cm reflector as well as Lyot-coronagraph were received for the observatory from Germany as reparations.

The beauty of the observatory site, the telescopes and the instruments together with a rich history and the current high scientific activity of the astronomers staff make the Observatory as a quite attractive place. During many years it was a unique site in combining active scientific research with teaching for students and postgraduates in astrophysicists. Many astrophysicists of FSU have been trained at the Crimean Observatory. During the period 1945 - 1960 a great number well known at that time astrophysicists had been working in Observatory.
