Who Are We?
As Amateur Astronomers we enjoy learning about the latest astronomical research. We enjoy observing and showing others great sights in the sky. We also help folks learn how to observe the heavens.
We're located in the Toledo, Ohio area with an observatory at a dark site far from the city lights. On clear moonless nights we get awsome views of clusters, nebulae and galaxies.

Our Equipment
Our observatory houses a 25" Newtonian f4 telescope on a Dob mount. We now have an electric drive system installed. (Check the picture above.)
The 12.5" Meade Newtonian Dob is often used for backyard star parties.
A 12" Equitorial Mounted Catadioptric observatory is under consideration.
