An observatory equipped with a coronagraph, a special telescope for observing the corona, located on the summit of a high mountain where the weather conditions are good and the atmosphere is thin. The first was built in 1930 by B. Riot of France on Pic du Midi (2,860m) in the Pyrenees. Regular observations are also carried out at seven other locations: Arosa in Switzerland, Wendelstein in Germany, Kanzelhöhe in Austria, Climax and Sacramento Peak in the United States, and Marishiten-dake on Mount Norikura (2,876m) in Japan. All of them are built on mountain summits to avoid scattering by the atmosphere.
