The Waid Observatory is a privately owned amateur facility operated from two locations. The primary location is from my residence in Margate, Florida. The secondary site is from a residence I maintain in the small community of Waurika, Oklahoma. The observatory is dedicated to the promotion and enjoyment of Amateur Astronomy and in particular to the imaging of the celestial wonders of the night sky.
Over 5 hours of educational presentations are now available on DVD.
