The Astronomy Club of Asheville is involved in the operation of two astronomical observatories in the region:
Lookout Observatory on the UNC-Asheville campus and Grassland Mountain Observatory in Madison County.
Lookout Observatory is a partnership between the club and the university, while Grassland Mountain Observatory is wholly owned and operated by the club.
