The Observatory enables anyone to experience first hand the fascination of observational astronomy. We hoped that inspiration and interest would be aroused in people and especially children who have had no real opportunity to sample the practical side of astronomy. Schools, universities and societies can take advantage of this unique facility, which will cover a wide range of astronomical subjects and include meteorology and seismology. These disciplines are all within the science curriculum. The observatory project is non-profitmaking. The site at Knighton is approximately two acres and is at an elevation of 417 m (1368 ft). |
