We have assembled a team working on the preparation and implementation of the Marind💚or Observatory construction project, which is part of the IGOR Center for Lifelong Learning in Nature. On Friday and Saturday, April 11 and 12, 2025, we focused on topics related to the location and positioning of the observatory, infrastructure requirements, equipment selection, the observatory's purpose, funding methods, and we agreed on the timeline and content of upcoming activities.
The team includes: Damir Hržina, M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from the Zagreb Observatory; Alan Jadanić, astronomer, photographer, and educator from Astrokutak – Zagreb; and local experts Hrvoje Mikolčević, M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering, whose hobby is astrophotography; Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nikola Gotovac, whose hobbies are astronomy and meteorology; and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Katarina Štavlić and M.Sc. Igor Štavlić, representing the IGOR Center.
On Friday, we spent time at our Center's location, and on Saturday, we visited the "Gea X" Astronomical Society in Slavonski Brod, met with society members and learned about their activities and equipment, and agreed on future collaboration… 💚
