Brooks Observatory (operated by the Ritter Planetarium)

This is a six inch f/15 refracting telescope used for public outreach and education at the University of Toledo, atop McMaster Hall. I operated this telescope for several astronomy classes and public observing nights while I was a graduate student there.
