Small campus observatory with a white domed telescope and elevated views—great for astrophotography, blue hour city silhouettes, and detail shots of the dome and instruments. Best visited on clear nights (new moon) or during public open houses; golden hour and blue hour provide strong silhouettes and warm sky color. On-site parking at Clackamas Community College; access often limited to scheduled events, so check event calendar. Expect mild Pacific Northwest weather; bring warm layers.
