The equipment at the observatory reflects the diverse interests of its partners. As with all observatories the range of telescopes plays an important role in what the observatory is capable of viewing.

The Meade DSI CCD camera can be used to take detailed digital photos of deep sky objects.

Our telescopes are quite diverse; there is a 12” Meade cassegrain (in the dome), a 12” Meade newtonian, a 16” Meade newtonian, a 14” dobsonian (Bertha), a 12” dobbie (Bertie) and lets not forget the 7” ‘Humble’ telescope plus various other Meades and Celestrons brought up by various partners and wardens. .
