Altitude

The altitude is an estimate base on the USGS topoquad map, which is also where I got the lat/long. The map shows the base of the science center close to 1040ft, and by my guess the telescope (on the roof) is at least another 20+ feet above that. — Eoghanacht ^talk 14:33, 19 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

I'll get the GPS altitude next time I am there. Josh6466 (talk) 02:39, 23 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

Telescope

Per the documents that were provided with the telescope, it is a Ritchey - Chretien, not a classical Cassegrain. since I don't have a source I can site, I'll leave it for now. Josh6466 (talk) 02:41, 23 February 2025 (UTC)Reply
