Hume Cronyn Memorial Observatory, Scientific observatory at Western University in London, Canada.
The Hume Cronyn Memorial Observatory contains three primary telescopes, including a 254 mm refractor and a 203 mm Schmidt camera for astronomical research.
Frances Amelia Cronyn funded the construction of this astronomical facility in 1940 as a memorial to her husband, Hume Blake Cronyn.
The observatory schedules regular public viewing nights where visitors learn about celestial objects and participate in astronomical demonstrations throughout the year.
Located on Lambton Drive next to Alumni Hall, the observatory offers guided tours and maintains partial wheelchair accessibility with available parking.
The facility houses a Gibbs Heliochronometer, a specialized sundial instrument patented in 1906 for precise time measurement using solar observations.
