Through this website, fellow amateur astronomers will be able to learn more about the Winter Bay Observatory - it's location, construction, and equipment. Although primarily used for planetary imaging, the observatory's equipment is sometimes used for deep sky visual observing and imaging. I am still very much in the learning phase when it comes to deep sky imaging. However, the planetary and deep sky images that have been captured to date are available in the Image Gallery.
