De hemel boven Matsumoto
At 36.24° north latitude and 590 metres elevation, Matsumoto enjoys an exceptionally transparent northern sky. The Norikura Skyline observatory site, at 3,026 metres in the neighbouring Alps, reaches Bortle 1 to 2 ratings — among the darkest skies in Japan, comparable to the world's best astronomy sites. Winter nights there allow distant nebulae to be observed with the naked eye.
