Amjoch ObservatoryThe Department of Physics and Department of Electrical Engineering jointly operate the Amjoch Observatory, located 4 miles outside of Houghton at an excellent dark-sky site. A computer-controlled Meade 16-inch LS-200 telescope, complete with ST-8 CCD camera and UBVRI filters, is available for astrophysical research projects. The AMJOCH observatory was built by emeritus presidential professor David Chimino and is named for his parents, Amelia and John Chimino.
