There are more people interested in (general) astronomy then in (specific) spaceflight. So far, astronomical pins have been overlooked, but there are beauties out there!

Since 1975, I have visited almost 175 astronomical observatories in 33 countries but only a dozen astronomical observatories have their own astro pin. Does anyone know other observatory pins?

Armenia, Australia, Croatia, Estonia, France, Germany, Great Britain, Poland, Russia, Spain, USA...

Thanks for sharing a photo of your observatory pins.

I collect patches and pins of planetary missions and have some observatory pins (not for sale).

Although traveling like you do is the best way to find pins, many of the larger observatories now have online stores that you can search for.

All times are CT (US)
