It is located between the Swedish cities of Uppsala and Stockholm, at almost equal distance. Since 2009, the domes and telescopes of the Kvistaberg Observatory are part of a museum. The observatory established a 1-meter Schmidt telescope in 1963, which is a large size for this type of telescope designed to give a wide field of view.
