One of the things I have enjoyed doing is visiting various professional observatories. It is always fun to see just what equipment is being used and what the observing conditions are like.

University Observatories

A big advantage in working as a unniversity astronomy professor is the opportunity of using the university observatory for my own research. While at some universities, the observatory is located on campus and badly crippled by light pollution and incompetant university administrators, others have some excellent equipment and really support their astronomy program.
