Richard D. Schwartz Observatory

Located on the UMSL campus, the observatory is used for astronomical research and for public education during regular open house events. It houses a 16″ Meade LX200 telescope and two portable 8″ Celestron telescopes. The telescope can be used for imaging or spectroscopy with an SBIG ST-8 CCD camera.

Community Outreach, Program

From February through November each year, the community is invited to view the night sky during open houses at the Observatory. During these popular events, a student or volunteer will point the telescope at various objects of interest, point out constellations, and answer general astronomy questions.
