The Crimean Astrophysical Observatory (CrAO) is located in Ukraine. CrAO has been publishing the Bulletin of the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory since 1947, in English since 1977. The observatory facilities (IAU code 095) are located near the settlement of Nauchny since the mid-1950s; before that, they were further south, near Simeis.
