The Helen Sawyer Hogg Observatory
The Helen Sawyer Hogg observatory is located on the grounds of the museum, and contains a classic
15-inch refracting telescope. (This is the instrument formerly located in the Dominion Observatory building on the grounds of the Central Experimental Farm, near Carling Avenue.) The observatory and telescope are open to the general public after some of our
Monthly Meetings (weather permitting).
