More About D. C. Wysor Observatory and Museum

The D.C. Wysor Observatory and Museum, located on the grounds of Dublin Elementary School, is open every Friday evening 9pm-11pm for individuals and tour groups.

The observatory has a state-of-the-art Meade 16″ LX200 Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope with a database of nearly 65,000 objects for viewing the solar system. Images can be projected from the telescope to a viewing screen located on the first floor, enabling visitors to share the wonders of the sky without climbing the spiral staircase to the dome of the observatory.

The museum showcases a vast collection of rocks, minerals, and fossils along with an extensive library. Other displays include a large custom-built model of the solar system and frame astronomical photographs.
