Georgian National Astrophysical Observatory (GENAO) was founded in 1932 by AcademicianEvgeni Kharadze on Mount Kanobili, near theAbastumani resort in theSamtskhe-Javakheti region of southeasternGeorgia. The altitude of Mt. Kanobili varies between 1650 and 1700 m above sea level. The observatory is located ~250 km fromTbilisi, the capital of Georgia. Its distance from air pollution and artificial sky illumination, together with excellent natural conditions (a hilly landscape covered with coniferous forest) make this location one of the best for observatories at the same altitude range. The weather is stable, without harsh and sudden changes.

The observatory carries out wide-profile research spanning different fields ofastronomy andastrophysics and investigations of the upper layers of Earth's atmosphere.
