Leuschner Observatory

Leuschner Observatory is the student observatory of the University of California, Berkeley. It is named for early Berkeley astronomer Armin Otto Leuschner who founded the original Student Observatory on the Berkeley campus in the 1890s. It is located a short distance east of the Berkeley campus in the hills of Lafayette, California. As of 2005, Leuschner Observatory's convert|30|in|mm|sing=on telescope is regularly used in undergraduate astronomical instruction, while the convert|20|in|mm|sing=on telescope is decommissioned and in disrepair.
