Leeuwenboschfontein Observatory (LBF) is the realization of the dreams of a group of amateur astronomers, Eddy Nijeboer, Marius Reitz, Willem Brazelle and Leslie Rose. Their vision: to make the beauty of the Universe accessible to all who have ever looked at the night sky. The Observatory is privately owned and operated and is located on a secluded spot within the Leeuwenboschfontein Guest Farm which lies at the gateway to the Central Karoo. Farm owner Johan Roux generously provided the land and infrastructure for the observatory. The observatory has a 16-inch Dobsonian telescope while other privately-owned telescopes are brought up by the attending astronomers for events.
