Ellis Astronomical Observatory

Temporarily Closed

The Sterling Hill Astronomy Group holds occasional viewing sessions at the Ellis Astronomical Observatory on the grounds of the Sterling Hill Mining Museum. 

Located in rural Sussex County, the observatory offers excellent dark-sky viewing conditions far from major urban sources of light pollution.  Members use the observatory's massive 20-inch and 12.5-inch reflector telescopes for nighttime viewing, and a Hydrogen-Alpha telescope for safe viewing of the Sun.

Viewings

In order to go into the observatory, one must be a part of the occasional viewing session.
