List of observatories and stations related to the Bolidozor network

Stations included in KML file

The KML file contains the list of all the current stations. It is available online at http://rtbolidozor.astro.cz/stations.kml.

The file can be imported into a variety of map software - e.g. GoogleEarth. It is recommended to add the file as a network link because then your map will always be up-to-date.

Google Earth

Import into GoogleEarth software can be done by opening a context menu (located in the left column) of “My places”. Next, open “Add » Network connection” (??). A new window will open - change a name (e.g. “Bolidozor”) and to the Connection item, add the following address ''http://rtbolidozor.astro.cz/stations.kml'’. Confirm by pressing add. After a while, stations should appear on the map
