Echo Hill is home to a roll-off roof observatory, where a high elevation and open fields provide access to a panoramic view of a bortle 2/3 dark sky. The newly acquired system will focus on long exposure imaging, sky surveying and a hunt for NEOs(near earth objects) with reporting to the Harvard Minor Planet center.
If you have interest in searching for undiscovered near-earth meteors or comets, please download NASA's Astroid Data Hunter software and help professional astronomers survey the sky.
