Observatory

By: Andrew Hardy

Ever wondered what all is hidden in the woods around campus? There is a lot more than you think out there.

Along with the kiln hidden behind the disc golf course, believe it or not, there is a state of the art observatory just a little ways down the road.

This a fully operational, top of the line observatory with a very impressive telescope.

Think that you need some special clearance to enjoy the James W. Shepard Observatory? Then you would be wrong, all you have to do is to keep an eye and ear out for notifications of the next Astronomy Club meeting.

You can find out more about the observatory at the university website, along with some pictures of the telescope and the construction process.
