The 2,800-square-foot observatory features a 16-inch, 14-inch and a 10-inch telescope. One is equipped with a spectrograph which is used to collect data from the stars. Outside the observatory is a fourth telescope located in a robo-dome, used for studying the sun, including solar prominences that are emitted from the edges of sunspots. All the telescopes have cameras and are connected to a large overhead television screen and plasma screen, so entire classes and groups can view the stars simultaneously.
