However, an additional service of HLCO has been to the public - bringing the wonders of the Universe to Georgia residents. Professional astronomers from Georgia State University take advantage of the dark skies, away from the light pollution of Atlanta, Conyers, and Covington, to observe objects as near as the Moon and as far away as the edge of our visible Universe. Research telescopes: 16" Boller & Chivens 16" Meade Multiple-Telescope Telescope Other useful links: Directions to the observatory Open house dates Open house staff schedule (internal access only) Guide for running an open house night
