Tangney Observatory
Virgil Tangney
is a long time very active member who was involved in many observatory projects since he
joined the MAS in 1964. He has served as the MAS President, Vice-President, Assistant Observatory Director, AAVSO Recorder, and Newsletter Editor.
He is currently our longest living member.
Mary Ann Tangney (1928-2008) served as MAS Secretary for many years.
Both
Virgil and Mary Ann Tangney were active observers.
This is our only flip-top observatory structure and is designed for
robotic telescopes due to the limited space.
The Tangney Observatory houses a Meade 10" f/6.3 LX 200 on a CGE PRO
computerized equatorial mount. It is remotely controlled from the
lower level of the Z Dome.
A DSLR or a CCD camera may be attached to this scope.
