The Observatory
The Tulare Astronomical Association owns it’s own observatory. The observatory was built on donated property south of the city of Tulare back in 1968. The observatory holds a 10″ Newtonian telescope on an German equatorial mount. Due to light pollution the club no longer uses the property for serious observing.
Dry Creek Preserve
When observing in the valley, the Tulare Astronomical Association uses the property owned by the Sequoia Riverlands Trust. It is an old rock mine once used to produce concrete. The Trust is restoring the property to it’s natural beauty. The Tulare Astronomical Association holds club star parties and public star parties on this site. Check the calendar for dates.
