  We show the actual status of the project to implement the Astronomical
Observatory of the National University of Engineering (OAUNI), including its
first light. The OAUNI was installed with success at the site of the Huancayo
Observatory on the peruvian central Andes. At this time, we are finishing the
commissioning phase which includes the testing of all the instruments: optical
tube, robotic mount, CCD camera, filter wheel, remote access system, etc. The
first light gathered from a stellar field was very promissory. The next step
will be to start the scientific programs and to bring support to the
undergraduate courses in observational astronomy at the Faculty of Sciences of
UNI.
