Observing site on Madeira island. The playground behind the basic school in Lombada is relatively well protected against street lights. Visual observations with a modest Zennox 76/700 telescope and a Dobson 200/1400 are performed during winter stays on the island. Educational observations for the public (local and tourists) are performed as well.
