Is there an astronomical observatory on the Cape Verde islands? I didn't find any information. But the location surely would offer access to a lot of sky without much light pollution.

Can't answer your query direct but suggest you check clear skies data for these islands. Our astro society went there without checking and only had 1 night in 7 that was any use . Could have been just unlucky but doubt it

For anyone who is interested: under the personal assumption that Cape Verde and Ascension Island have comparable observing characteristics, this paper might be interesting.
