[House from North Pasture]

The dome houses a 12.5" f6 Newtonian on a Byers 812 mount. The adjacent deck has a central pier with an independent foundation to support an 18" Starsplitter which I have been using for monitoring variable stars in the mag-14 range. An extended part of the observatory is a 25" Dobsonian built from an Astro Systems Telekit housed on its own pad at Msgr. Ronald Royer's "Royer Oaks" Observatory. The 25" is currently the focal point of community interest for public star parties.
