At an altitude of 2085 meters on Mount El Ruble in Chile, the Soviet telescope AZT-16 is standing. He was designed in 1964 in the USSR, in parts were transported through the ocean to the Chilean port of Walparaiso, and then lifted to the mountain. All Soviet astronomers spoke about one thing: this telescope is a legend, a miracle and the top of the work. Today, more than 50 years after installation, the telescope rust lonely under the Chilean sky.
