The observatory is owned and operated by the University of Western Ontario, and opened in 1969. The observatory features a  Ritchey–Chrétien telescope built by Boller and Chivens which is used for spectroscopy and photometry. The telescope can be configured to feed instruments at the Cassegrain, Nasmyth, and Coudé foci.
