A private observatory for outreach & education
    The Bellcroft Observatory is privately owned and managed by Richard Stember.  It houses a variety of telescopes including a 10 inch LX-200 and an 8 inch LX-90 Meade SCT.

    The observatory consists of a newly installed 6 foot diameter Technical Innovations Home Dome.

    Outreach activities are offered as part of the NASA/JPL Solar System Ambassadors program and the Scopes-4-Schools Inc. - a non-profit organization.

    I invite you to keep up with Southern California Astronomy events and viewing opportunities by following me on twitter (@SSAmbassador).
