This is the hardest one yet

Where is it edition 12. Name the city. A friend said nobody would get this one. Let's see if he's right. Click the image for a bigger version.

Good luck.

[update] It appears my geo-surfers would like a hint. Very well. The country this city is in ends in -stan.

Ok I'm back with a fast computer, I didn't know there were so many old towns with cyclotrons in them. I like this one. I WILL figure it out.

Cyclotron? Where? Are you referring to that racetrack-looking thing? Because I don't think it's a cyclotron....

Ok Throw us a bone, A continent,a hemisphere, a wider area picture, a river a coastline anything. It's turning my hair grey. I've spent two hours on it so far! I showed to one person and he thinks it's in the archives of sim city. but since I don't play games except Karls' geography challenge I wouldn't know

way to go Jimbo! I'll buy you an O'Douls sometime. I still think that it's the 88 inch cyclotron under that racetrack looking thing at the University of Bishkek. Thanks for the challenge Karl
