Our Telescope.....

Explore the universe as it can only be seen with a large telescope! When completed the telescope will be remotely controlled for worldwide use. Powered by a mirror completed in 2003 from one of the 72-inch blanks originally cast by Corning for the 48-inch Schmidt telescope at Palomar.
