perhaps you've seen the nebula in
the constellation Orion.
The observatory was built in 1928
as a memorial to former USC
President William Davis Melton by
his friend Edwin G. Seibels. It
employs a Newtonian Cassegran
telescope which has a 16-inch
reflector that was built in 1890,

graduate assistant in charge of
astronomy laboratories and public
viewings, the telescope is one of the
largest of its kind in the South. He
said because of higher humidity in
the South few telescopes of great .
power are located here.
On the effectiveness of the
telescope Koehn said, "With all the
1 i rrVi t nnlltlf inn arminrl fKn nK
pviiuiiv/il VUIIU 111V V/U
servatory, we do not get to see as
much as we probably could see, but
this telescope is excellent for
planetary and lunar viewing."
The observatory is open to the
public on Mondays from 8:30 p.m.
to 10 p.m. However, viewing is a
problem if it happens to be cloudy
on that night. But Koehn said in the
fall the open night will be pushed to
the following night and so on, until

a public viewing can be held. He
added, however, astronomy
laboratories will be given
preference on their scheduled
nights.
Attendance varies from 50 to 60
or more, according to what is in
view, Koehn said. "The moon is
always a popular viewing object,"
