UNH Observatory Information

The observatory (a silo shaped building) is located at UNH in Durham near the Old Durham Reservoir. To view a slideshow-form of the directions, click either the East or the West text located below. From the West will guide you as if you are coming from the West and getting off of Route 4 onto Main St. From the East will guide you if you are coming from campus and heading West towards 155A and Route 4. If you would rather just have the text, click one of the links labeled below each. Bring binoculars if you have them, and dress appropriately, preferably in layers. During the summer months you should be prepared to meet insects as well. Most importantly, bring your curiosity and your questions!

For those that don't know this area of UNH too well:

	Topo Maps! This is a map from the Topo Maps program. It contained the precise position of each pixel on earth as well as the height above sea level! By clicking on the text above, you'll go to the topozone program which will show our coordinates as well as allow you to view other areas.
	Google Maps! If you click on the icon, it will enlarge the map taken from google with a superimposed dome on the map to show the location of the observatory. If you click on the Google Maps! text, it will bring you to the adjustable google map.
