The department hosts an observatory on top of Hill Hall that contains a 16-inch reflecting telescope. The telescope can be used in either Newtonian or Schmidt-Cassegrain mode. It includes a CCD camera, computerized directional control, a photometer, and a spectrometer. Originally designed
and built by physics students, the telescope has been an important resource for the program for more than a quarter-century. Public viewing sessions are planned approximately monthly, depending on weather, and the telescope can be used by majors who have been trained in its operations.
