The telescopes at the observatory allow you to view the actual sky. The Moon's surface, the planets of the Solar System, remarkable comets, and fascinating binary stars, multi-star systems, interstellar nebulae, and galaxies in the far reaches of the cosmos will all be visible during the evening observations. We may gaze at the Sun throughout the day and see sunspots, eruptions, bulges, and other solar atmospheric events.
The Lunt telescope is outfitted with a unique H-alpha filter that enables us to study the Sun at a wavelength of 656 nm, and we mostly utilize a Celestron telescope for nighttime studies with a mirror diameter of 355 mm.
The Observatory can accommodate 20 persons.
As the observatory is only accessible by a somewhat short stairs ascending from the first floor up to the dome, access can be exceedingly challenging for those with disabilities and nearly impossible for those in wheelchairs.It is essential to climb a ladder and use an eyepiece in order to observe.We urge guests to dress in warm clothing and footwear because the dome is not heated.
