	Observational astronomy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Infrared light is heavily absorbed by water vapor, so infrared observatories have to be located in high, dry places or in space.
		Typical requirements for grinding and polishing a curved mirror, for example, require the surface to be within a fraction of a wavelength of light of a particular conic shape.
		Large telescopes are housed in observatories, both to protect them from the weather and to stabilize the environmental conditions.

		If the desired observatory is not in the database a user may copy/create their own database and select it with the environment variable "obsdb", modify the standard database if allowed (any changes to the distributed version should be forwarded to iraf$noao.edu), or use the special observatory name "obspars".
		List the observatory assigned to some images with a default observatory determined either by the "observatory" environment variable or that set in the observatory task.
