The Liverpool Telescope can be found on the spanish island of La Palma, which is one of the Canary Islands off the north coast of Africa. The promise of good weather, dark nights and an extinct volcano, provide the perfect setting for a robotic telescope.

For those that understand latitude and longitude, the exact location of the telescope is as follows:

Latitude: 28° 45' 44.8" North

Longitude: 17° 52' 45.2" West
