Bye Bye Pluto - (Pluto looses it's planatary status)

We observed the Martian Moons for the first time Friday, Oct 28, 2005

With a big scope and steady conditions you can see them too

This is our Facility

Founded in 1995, Horizon Planetary Observatory is equipped with Our NEW 14" Meade RCX400 telescope, which is housed in a 10' Technical Innovations dome. Our new scope is permanently mounted on a 22' x 16" Steel Mounting Pole. Fully remote robotic operation is now possible. We started out only doing amateur observations, but currently I am involved in Minor Planet Detection, and finishing a Master Degree program at Swinburne University in Australia.

In the near future I will be involved in Project Argus. and Independent Solar research.

Our observatory is located on the outskirts of Glenville, WV, and is operated by Robert R. Jones II.
