About Dilbert Observatory

Dilbert Observatory is a personal amateur observatory in the Willamette Valley, Oregon, owned and operated by Dave Sandage. A dome on the property houses multiple telescopes used for astrophotography, and the site doubles as a base for trips to darker sky locations around Oregon for star parties.

Location & getting there

The observatory sits in Oregon's Willamette Valley, in the North America region on Star Register's map - agricultural country that, away from the valley's towns, offers reasonably dark skies for amateur imaging.

Visiting Dilbert Observatory

As a private home observatory, Dilbert Observatory is not a public visitor site. It functions primarily as its owner's personal astrophotography setup rather than an institution offering tours.
