Elginfield Observatory, Astronomical observatory in Middlesex Centre, Canada
The Elginfield Observatory contains a 1.2-meter Ritchey-Chretien telescope used for spectroscopy and photometry studies at different focal configurations.
The University of Western Ontario operated this astronomical research facility from its opening in 1969 until its closure in 2010.
The observatory contributed to astronomical knowledge through studies of Cepheid variable stars and the monitoring of gas release from minor planets.
Located 25 kilometers north of London, Ontario, at an elevation of 325 meters, the facility provided excellent conditions for celestial observations.
The observatory's telescope could feed instruments at three different positions: the Cassegrain, Nasmyth, and Coude foci for varied research purposes.
