With relatively low funds, the Departamento de Astronomía de la Universidad de Guanajuato, in Mexico, has successfully carried out the modernization of a rustic astronomical observatory. At this site, once it is fully refurbished, it is planned to hold not only public observations, but also to have an ambitious programme of science popularization devoted to scholars.
