The Prugh-Carver Observatory

In 1996 a new observatory, the Prugh-Carver Observatory, was added through a grant from the Carver Foundation.  Dedicated to Burton Prugh, a Burlington businessman, it stands as a reminder of his devotion and support to the Southeast Iowa Astronomy Club.  It houses Mr. Witte's personal 8" Fecker refractor telescope, as well as several other telescopes.
