Organization

Taylor Observatory is owned and operated by the Lake County Office of Education (LCOE).  Overall management of the facility is handled by the Observatory Coordinator, a partime employee of LCOE.  Staff Assistants are part time employees who assist in lectures, presentations, planetarium shows and telescope operation.  Docents are volunteers who support our staff in a variety of activities and projects.  A nonprofit organization, The Friends of Taylor Observatory, supports the Observatory outreach activites, through fundraising and donations.  The Ukiah Astronomical Society (U-A-S) provides support with telescope operation and astrophotography.
