The D.C. Wysor Observatory and Museum, located on the grounds of Dublin Elementary School, is open every Friday evening year-round at 8:30 PM and by appointments for individuals and tour groups. The Observatory has a state-of-the-art Meade 16” LX200 Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope with a data base of nearly 65,000 objects for viewing the solar system. Images can be projected from the telescope to a viewing screen located on the first floor, meaning visitors can enjoy the wonders of the sky without having to climb the spiral staircase to the dome of the Observatory.
The museum showcases a vast collection of rocks, minerals and fossils along with an extensive library. Other displays include a large custom-built model of the solar system and framed astronomical photographs.
Bring your family and explore the wonders of the universe at D.C. Wysor Observatory & Museum!
