by, and for, amateur astronomers -- SRO is a special place for intimate
contact with the cosmos. It has served its members, the public and educational
institutions since 1963.
Driving
40 minutes north of Pasadena, California, one can find Stony Ridge Observatory
nestled in a grove of Coulter pines in the Angeles National Forest at
an elevation of over a mile. From this vantage point visitors can gaze
down into Devil's Canyon 2000 feet below or peer
south to the Mt. Wilson Observatory.
