DESCRIPTION:The Faculty of Engineering and IEEE EUI SB are organizing a tri
 p to the National Research Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics (NRIAG)\,
  Kottamia Astronomical Observatory.\n\nAbout Kottamia Observatory:\n\n- Ko
 ttamia astronomical observatory is the largest telescope in the Arab world
 \, the Middle East\, and North Africa. A large number of scientists and re
 searchers in the field of physics and astronomy use this telescope. It is 
 unique in terms of its location.\n- This telescope is located approximatel
 y 80 km from the center of the capital “Cairo” in the direction of the
  Suez City (Ain El Sokhna Road) over a mount that rises 450 meters above s
 ea level. The Observatory was established in 1964\, as an extension of the
  Helwan Observatory\, which was established in 1903\, one of the oldest re
 search institutes in Egypt and the Middle East.\n- Kottamia Observatory is
  regarded as a small scientific city.\n- One of the most important achieve
 ments made by Kottamia Observatory is its participation in the observation
 s which took for the lunar surface to choose human landing sites on the mo
 on in the late sixties. In addition\, some projects\, scientific theses\, 
 and research have also been conducted on this Telescope's accuracy. Recent
 ly\, the Telescope has been developed and upgraded as the other telescopes
  in the world. Over the last twenty years\, the visual system has been cha
 nged\, and the silvering operation has been updated to be automatic. The e
 lectrical circuits and mechanical have been updated too. The controlling s
 ystem of the Telescope and its dome became automatic via computers.\n\nTri
