The main observatory dome will contain a 1.6 m off-axis
solar telescope, the BBSO NST (New Solar Telescope).
The NST has two foci, a coudé focus which sends light
down to the coudé room on the second floor of the
observatory building, and a Nasmyth focus on the east
side of the telescope.
The small dome on the causeway north of the main dome contains
a Meade equatorial mount with two telescopes, a full disk solar
telescope with an H-alpha filter and an earthshine telescope.
For details on the BBSO Earthshine Project see
this page.
The white building at the shoreline contains a
GONG telescope.
