Western Observatories

We're interested in trying to stop by an observatory during our trip. Here is a list of observatories in the states along our route...

Texas

• Stephen F. Austin Univ. Observatory (Nacogdoches)
• Texas A&M Univ. Observatory (College Station)
• McDonald Observatory (Fort Davis)
• George Observatory (Houston)
  

New Mexico

• University of New Mexico Campus Observatory (Albuquerque)
• Etscorn Campus Observatory (Socorro)
  

Colorado

• Chamberlin Observatory (Denver)
• Sommers-Bausch Observatory (Boulder)
• USAF Academy Observatory (Colorado Springs) - rare events
  

Mark Peairs has a long list of observatories that have public viewings. (I don't know how recently his list is maintained... but it's better than anything I've got!)
