The 'Črni Vrh Observatory' ('Observatorij Črni Vrh', IAU code 106) is located in Western Slovenia, close to the village of Črni Vrh, near the town of Idrija. The current observatory was built in 1985, and is at an altitude of 730 metres.
Regular astronomical observations started in 1975, at a small observatory that was equipped with home-made instruments was set up near the present site. At that time first images of Comet West were taken. The site is well above the inversion border much of winter, which enables undisturbed observations on many successive clear nights.
Much of the construction was done by volunteers.
Members of the Department of Physics, Astronomical Observatory, of the University of Ljubljana, also use the site for observations.
The observatory run a Comet and Asteroid Search Program named PIKA after a Slovene acronym. Since March 2003, the program is being operated on a new 60-cm, f/3.3 Cichocki telescope equipped with a Finger Lake 1k x 1k CCD detector. Telescope project funding has been covered in part by the Planetary Society Shoemaker Grant 2000.
