ICC Solar Telescope
A star party for ICC students and staff to observe the
passage of Mercury in front of the Sun
Esh
observatory
Two buildings located south east of the ICC campus.
8" refractor telescope is in the dome and 10" reflector is
in roll-off building.

It is a facility that is used to benefit the students as
well as the community. Many groups from the community
visit the observatory to learn more about the night sky.
Some of the star parties that took place are:
1. Nov. 19th, 2005, Caney scouts pack visited to observe
Venus and to learn how to locate the different
constellations on the dark sky.
2. Oct. 13th, 2006. Washington county science club
visited the observatory to observe Jupiter.
3. May 14th, 2007, Caney scouts pack visited to learn about
the constellations Orion and Cassiopeia and to observe Saturn
and Mars
