The Canopus Hill Observatory, located approximately 12 km from Hobart in Tasmania, Australia, is an optical astronomy observatory belonging to the University of Tasmania (UTAS).[1] Due to the high southern latitude, the Canopus Hill Observatory is able to observe and study the Magellanic Clouds.[2] However, the observatory has closed down due to the "encroaching light pollution from the Hobart suburbs".[3] According to the Astronomical Society, light pollution reduces the vision of the night sky, becoming a "major menace to amateur and professional astronomers alike".[4]
