Morgan County Observatory
OBSERVATORY RENOVATION
Feb 13, 2026 Update
The renovation continues - the 10Micron mount for the 14 inch telescope was placed on the pier and is being polar aligned. We still have some dome construction to finish and a 10 foot screen to install in the classroom. The end is in sight!
Donations are gratefully received so we can continue to develop the facility and rent planetarium movies. Your donation is greatly appreciated!!
