Class of 1951 Observatory

The Class of 1951 Observatory houses three telescopes: a 32-inch telescope—one of the two largest in New York State—for advanced courses and faculty-student research, a 20-inch teaching telescope, and an eight-inch refracting telescope for "naked-eye" observations. On clear wednesday nights during the school year, the observatory hosts "open nights" for the local community.
