It was automated in the 1990s and is now used by students at UNAM in Mexico City. [12] A Carte du Ciel-type double-astrograph refractor with 33 cm (13 in) lens in the larger telescope was built in 1891 and installed at Tacubaya. [7] It was moved to Tonantzintla in 1951. [13]

[1] It was later moved to Palacio del Ex-Arzobispado in Tacubaya, then on the outskirts of the city on the west side of the Federal District.
A stellar association is a very loose star cluster, looser than an open cluster. A moving group is the remnant of such a stellar association. [1] Members of stellar associations and moving groups share similar kinematic properties, as well as similar ages and chemical composition. The list (below) is sorted by the distance to the Solar System.
