HESS telescopes

Photomontage showing how the new HESS telescopes will look on their site in Namibia. Visible in the background is the Gamsberg, a table mountain about 130 km from Windhoek. Owing to its excellent observing conditions, the Gamsberg was once a candidate site for the European Southern Observatory telescopes. The HESS telescopes are located in the surrounding Khomas Highland, about 30 km from the mountain.
