The telescopes at Hyde Observatory are housed on a large observing deck with a motor-driven roll-off roof that protects the instruments when they are not in use and allows indoor equipment maintenance free from weather concerns. There are three main telescopes in use at the observatory.

Open to the public for free on Saturdays from 7-10pm
