Welcome to the Stamford Observatory. Adults and children of all ages enjoy coming to have a peek through the telescope and attending demonstrations in the amazing planetarium. Our 22-inch telescope is completely controlled by computer and can also be controlled manually with a joystick. To pin-point something in the sky, the coordinates or name of the object can be entered into the computer and the telescope can find it, wherever it may be. It is highly accurate, perfectly centering in the field of view. The Fairfield County Astronomical Society holds regular meetings at 8pm on the second Tuesday of each month on the second floor of the observatory. Everyone is welcome!
