Geocache Description:

12-12-12 S7-1 Carol Park - Bosianu Observatory



This cache is part of the 12-12-12 event
 


Bosianu Astronomic Observatory is one of the two places in Bucharest where you can really see the sky.
Sadly, this place is seldom used, as the light interference, the location near the middle of the city and, not the last, the internal Academy regulation making nearly impossible for the public to use it.

The optical instruments are preserved in a museum-hall, some of them being between the most valuable in the world, like the Meridian Circle, a complex and massive instrument which measures and records the position of the stars.

The start position will take you to the front of the building.
Here you will need to find out:

(A) - the year when the building was changed to observatory;
(B) - the number of the nearby place where some heroes change clothes.


The final location is at: N 44 24. [A/3 - 24] ,E 026 05.[round(B/(2*A)) - 167].

Hope you enjoy the visit! Now, find the cache and hint!

Good luck!

PS.Here was the place that was prepared to hold the 12/12/12 event, yet, due to weather conditions, some changes had to be made.

PPS. As the 'place where heroes change clothes' is missing (they picked up the phone booth ;)), B = 3351834
