Club Observatories

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.
