IntroductionThis web site will introduce the user to Nightwatch Observatory and it's associated facilities. As you browse this web page, you can trace the observatory from it's concept to current operations. The Nightwatch facility is a composite of four observatories and several talented associates. The Observatory's location is made possible through a special land use permit provided by the Tahoe National Forest. Enjoy your travels. MissionNightwatch provides that platform from which to study our universe. The observatory and it's associate members are involved in such projects as extra-terrestrial systems, binary stars, chromospherically active stars, and supernova events. You will want to visit the projects page as well as the photos and papers page. The observatory can be opened to host a visiting amateur's project (s), but is not open to the public in general. See the Sacramento Valley Astronomical Society link. Associations and Memberships
