The Department of Physics at the
Air Force Academy operates a 61-cm and a 41-cm telescope at an
observatory site located just east of the cadet area overlooking
the parade grounds. The observatory supports various physics
classes, cadet and faculty research, and Physics and Astronomy
Cadet Club activities. Visual observations, photography, CCD
imaging and CCD spectroscopy are all possible.
The observatory is responsible for the operations of both the
61cm and 41cm telescope domes pictured below.
