​The infrastructures

Antonio De Luca in this  article explains how the infrastructures suitable for observing the sky in the Pollino area should be.

The Pollino area lends itself perfectly to observation of the sky thanks to the very low levels of light pollution.

First of all, it is necessary to identify places, far from the inhabited center, in a sufficiently elevated position and with little vegetation around.

Then they should be equipped with pitches for astronomical observation and be accessible in any season.

The  infrastructures of this type could be interesting for both amateur astronomers and educational institutions that intend to offer their students an unusual, stimulating and inspiring experience.
