The Stargazer Observatory

Thanks to the theme at We’re Here! today I have made a wonderful Space Exploration discovery.

 

It seems the junior college in town cooperated with a local housing development to create a very unique amenity: The Stargazer Observatory. It’s an astronomy laboratory, and although students of Front Range Community College most commonly use the facility, it is also available to the public astronomer, whether pro or novice. You can find the observatory’s dome right next to the community swimming pool.

 

The Stargazer Observatory features state-of-the-art equipment and software and provides incredible astronomical viewing. At the Observatory you will find:

•A 14-inch Celestron C-14 telescope

•A Bisque Paramount ME mounting system

•The Sky 6 Software containing a database of over 30 million pieces of information

•Additional FRCC telescopes that may be set up on the viewing balcony

They were not open today, but I’m going to try to get over to the next weekend Public Open House!
