Pravec at Ondrejov. Josef ("Jozka") Dolecek (b. 1912) had a principal role in building the public observatory of Valasské Mezir{í}c{í} and was its first director. His work gave a basis for the observatory's success in astronomy popularization in the Czech Republic. The name was suggested by L. Lenza.
