West Mountain Observatory - Main Page

The new 0.9-m telescope arrived on the mountain August 18, 2009.   It is being lifted into the dome as this is being written.  We hope to have installation pictures up on this page shortly.  With that in mind we can almost say that the telescope is ready to begin taking research data.  Current plans call for a limited amount of research data to be taken during the engineering time of Fall 2009.  This will include some data taken for external observers.

To see pictures of the construction and installation of the telescope please click the 0.9-m link to the left.
