About Desert Wanderer Observatory

Desert Wanderer Observatory sits in the California desert near coordinates 32.78° N, 115.69° W, not far from the state's border with Mexico. Public details about its operator, history and equipment have not been documented, though its desert setting places it among the dark, low-humidity sites long favoured by amateur astronomers in the region.

Location & getting there

The observatory is in the North America region on Star Register's map, in the southeastern California desert. Check local astronomy club listings or resources before planning a visit, since no public access information is currently available.

Out in California's open desert skies, a telescope needs only a set of coordinates to find its target - the same right ascension and declination that comes with every star named through Star Register. Name a star or browse the catalogue to see one already claimed.
