What is an observatory?
Create an observatory
There are multiple ways to create an observatory. If it is your first time in the console and your account hasn't been invites to any other observatory team you will see only a "create observatory" button. The only thing you need to enter here is the name of the observatory.
After this initial prompt you will be redirect to a map. On this map you need to define the area of the observatory. This is important for the app. Because only data from this region will be loaded if you participate. To define the region simply click on the map. By clicking a rectangle will appear. You can define the size of it via drag and drop.
After that it is important to click on save. Otherwise your observatory will not have any boundries, which will lead to the fact that nothing will be loaded.
Already created an observatory?
If you already created an observatory the only way to create another one is by using the create method via the menu in the upper left corner:
The great thing is - there is no limitiation on how many observatories can be created.
