There is a radio telescope and other equipment on Peach Mountain operated by various departments in the University. The public has the opportunity to look through the 24 inch telescope and other telescopes. Members of the club often bring their own telescopes and visitors are also encouraged to bring their own telescopes and setup before its dark. Visitors are also encouraged to bring their own binoculars. Open houses are scheduled on the Saturday before and after the new moon, usually two per month.
Open houses begin at sunset.
If conditions are unusually cold or if it is cloudy, the open house may be canceled. Peach Mountain often gets quite cold, dress warmly. In warm weather mosquitos can be a problem, so do not forget insect repellent. Peach Mountain is located on North Territorial road about four miles North of Dexter. To get to the observatory, travel 1.1 miles west along North Territorial Road from the Dexter-Pinckney Rd.
