Lone Star Observatory is a privately held observatory that was designed, built and is operated by 12 dedicated amateur astronomers from the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex.

It was founded in the late 1980’s. The founding members each initially invested $6,500 to fund the original construction. Including a series of upgrades over the past years, today the members have approximately $250,000 invested in facilities and equipment.

The telescope is a fully computerized 24-inch Classic Cassegrain.

LSO is for the private use of its members and does not hold public viewings.
