Waid Observatory

The Waid Observatory is a privately owned amateur facility operated from two locations. My home observatory located on the outskirts of Denton, Texas and remote facilities located in the Davis Mountains west of Fort Davis, Texas. These observatories are dedicated to the promotion and enjoyment of Amateur Astronomy and, in particular, to the imaging of celestial wonders of the night sky.
