The telescope is situated at the south end on top of the Ångström laboratory, the main physics building of Uppsala University. The building stands on a gravel slope, which is a part of Uppsala esker, next to the Fyris river with a main road just to the south. The central part of Uppsala and the main building is to the northwest to northeast. The horizon is free from northeast to southeast with the Uppsala plain and southeast part of the city. From southeast to south there are pine tree embedded buildings, and from south to northwest there are pine forest in front of the south and southwest part of the city. The sky is unblocked down to the lower altitude limit of the telescope.
The light pollution from the city normally introduces around 1.5 to 2 magnitudes of background light with respect to a dark site, close to zenith, and more towards north. To the southeast there is a night time glow at the horizon originating from Arlanda airport.
Winter solstice give about 17 hours of evening and night, of which 12.5 hours are astronomical night. However, the main observational season from late August to end of April generally has less than 25% clear nights, November being worst and Mars best.
