Central Florida Astronomical Society - Robinson Observatory

The Robinson observatory currently holds a 20" Ritchie Chretien Telescope. The scope and observatory were made available by a combination of a grant from the State of Florida and the Robinson's. The building alone cost $250,000, in 1968 dollars. The telescope was installed in early 2007 and is completely computer controlled.

More information will be available in the future.
