UPDATE Fall 2011: All observatory systems are unavailable until further notice. The observatory is currently in transition from a focus on deep-sky, long exposure astro-imaging, to a new focus on lunar and planetary webcam imaging and remote video astronomy. During our transition between equipment and configurations, all CMO systems will be down. We will update this website and email our customer group when the new equipment is in place and tested. Thank you for your continued interest in Cherry Mountain Observatory.
