Mount Burnett Observatory

Mount Burnett Observatory

Mount Burnett Observatory was the main astronomical observatory for the School of Physics at Monash University from the early 1970s. A series of telescopes were deployed there over its history from the initial 16" telescope to the final 0.45m telescope. In the late 2000s the observatory was decommissioned as it had fallen into disuse, and the quality of the site was severely degraded by growing light pollution over the years.[1]
