 The
Rotary Club of Cameron Park Observatory is located on an isolated
parcel of land away from city lights and the noise of city life. On
any evening one can hear many wildlife sounds like frogs croaking,
crickets chirping, owls screeching, coyotes howling, and geese
honking as they fly high overhead. This quiet location is perfect
for a relaxing evening of enjoyment and fun.
Telescope observation is also a quiet activity that takes intense
concentration. The observer and staff will be having quiet
conversations about what is being observed in the telescope. Other
staff and visitors may be viewing photographs taken with the
telescope and being displayed on attached screens or computers.
Still other visitors will be outside viewing the skies with
binoculars or their own telescopes. If you think quiet and act quiet
you will fit right in.
The Observatory is located on school property. This means: no drugs,
no tobacco, and no alcohol, period!
