Nighthawk Observatory at New
Mexico Skies
The observatory became operational
on June 6th 2005. I am deeply grateful
to several companies and individuals
who helped make it possible. Thanks
to Mike Rice at New
Mexico Skies, Brad Ehrhorn at RC
Optical Systems,
John Smith (CCDAutoPilot2),
and Steve Mandel.
The observatory houses an RC Optical
Systems 20" f/8 Ritchey-Chrétien telescope,
Paramount ME, and STL11000 CCD Camera
(SBIG).
