Edward L. Naylor Astronomical Center and Observatory
The Naylor Observatory is located at 670 Observatory Dr. in Lewisberry, PA. GPS coordinates: 40 08 57 N -76 53 42 W Our gravel driveway is next to the two brick columns marking our neighbor's paved driveway. Be careful of crossing the road lane when turning into the driveway, as there is a blind spot there due to the road rise. Also - be on the lookout for deer. The observatory driveway is gravel and runs uphill to the observatory buildings. There is no on-street parking. Please use dim and/or parking lights only while on the Observatory property and park on the grass on the left side of our driveway. All visitors are asked to stop in and sign in at the Asper Classroom Building before proceeding to the telescopes. Members are typically on hand to direct visitors and to help answer any questions. As this is a working observatory, please no running or roughhousing on the grounds or near the equipment. Parents, please be mindful of your child's location. Observing is an outdoor activity and the grounds are uneven with a short (approx 20 yrd) walk uphill from the classroom to the telescope observatories. The evening and night temperatures tend to be colder than in the day, especially in the Spring and Fall seasons. While a classroom building with restroom facilities is available on-site, the observatories are open and non-heated spaces. Please dress accordingly.
