Celestron 14"

Brackett Telescopes

The two domes of Brackett Observatory each contain a 14" Celestron on a German equatorial mount. The telescopes, pictured below, are both fully automated using The Sky software.

Brackett Observatory Project - This web page created by Pomona alum John Donovan ('03) has guides for remote, robotic, and regular observing using the Brackett 14" telescopes as well as a catalogue of standard stars and a link to the Weather Channel for Claremont. A must for any telescope user!

View the basic operations manual for the 14" telescopes here.

Calendar Schedules for the 14" telescopes are available for viewing. This will give you a pretty good idea of when to be checking the webcams!
