LBTO and COVID-19
Posted on March 19, 2020
In order to limit the number of social interactions, slow the rate of transmission, and protect our local and partner communities in response to the COVID-19 pandemic:
A minimum of equipment and systems will be maintained at the telescope to allow for remote monitoring of the observatory environment (sensors and cameras).
Once the shutdown is complete, the observatory will be visited on a daily basis, weather permitting, to inspect and monitor the status of the facility.

In order to limit the number of social interactions, slow the rate of transmission, and protect our local and partner communities in response to the COVID-19 pandemic:
- LBTO is shutting down its observatory on top of Mount Graham. The last scheduled observing night was Tuesday night, March 17, 2020.
- Starting on March 23, 2020 and until further notice, all Tucson- and Safford-based staff will be working from home.
A minimum of equipment and systems will be maintained at the telescope to allow for remote monitoring of the observatory environment (sensors and cameras).
Once the shutdown is complete, the observatory will be visited on a daily basis, weather permitting, to inspect and monitor the status of the facility.
