Remote Observatory

The WIYN Remote Observing Center in SW 416 serves as a control room for astronomers observing on the 3.5-m WIYN telescope at Kitt Peak in Arizona. Much of our observing time on the telescope is carried out remotely, with students and faculty controlling the telescope and instruments from here In Bloomington. The remote workstation is equipped with multiple screens to enable the observers to track all of the activity at the telescope, including the weather and sky conditions in Arizona.
