Located at Bisdee Tier near Spring Hill, Tasmania, the Greenhill Observatory is a premier optical astronomy facility operated by the University of Tasmania. Officially opened in February 2013, it features the 1.3-meter Harlingten telescope, a modified Ritchey-Chrétien reflector on an equatorial fork mount. The observatory's strategic location offers exceptional conditions for astronomical observations, with minimal light pollution and optimal atmospheric clarity. In 2022, a new equatorial mount was installed, enhancing the telescope's tracking capabilities and supporting advanced space research initiatives.
