Our Location
Our small, backyard observatory is nestled in the suburban hillsides of Pleasant Hill, California. From this cozy spot, we use specialized equipment and advanced imaging techniques to reveal the incredible, hidden beauty of the cosmos.
Since coming online in 2023, we've captured many stunning images of deep space objects which you can find in our image gallery. We're also proud to contribute to real science by participating in NASA's Exoplanet Watch program, helping track planets as they orbit distant stars.
Our goal is to inspire curiosity about science and astronomy through engaging content and stunning visuals!
Check out what we're envisioning for the coming year.
