The Stilabower Public Observatory is one of the few community-owned observatories in the nation. Its unique aspect is its handicapped-accessible design. This facility boasts a 14-inch telescope, computerized tracking, and a digital imaging system. Recently, an updated telescope allows visitors to input coordinates or objects, which allows the telescope to track them across the sky.
