Description
HRPO houses a 50-cm reflector, a 40-cm reflector, and several smaller telescopes to bring the majesty of the night sky to the public. Trained operators, sharing duties via a rotating roster, work year-round in shifts with a pre-planned list of celestial objects to highlight. Requests will also be taken—if time allows and once everyone has viewed the previous target.
