Stull Observatory, Astronomical observatory in Alfred, New York, United States

The facility contains seven independent telescopes, including the Austin-Fellows 32-inch Newtonian Reflector, situated across multiple observation domes on the Alfred University campus.

William A. Rogers ordered a 9-inch refractor telescope from Henry Fitz in 1863, establishing the foundation for astronomical research at Alfred University.

The observatory serves as an educational center where students can pursue astronomy minors and participate in astrophysics research programs through Alfred University.

The observatory utilizes a computerized control system funded by the National Science Foundation, enabling precise astronomical observations and research capabilities.

The Austin-Fellows 32-inch telescope ranks as the second largest optical telescope in New York state, matching the size of Vassar College's observatory instrument.
