ABOUT OUR FORUM

CNFTR was first established as a forum for astronomers and telescope builders which has been a good foundation but we have decided to expand our forum into other sciences and areas of discussion. Our new format will only include one section as an astronomy and telescope building resource. To preserve the integrity of our forum, membership is by invitation only. We understand membership will be small. To protect privacy over the internet we will only allow first names of individuals to be posted except if it is a famous person being discussed. However you may use your name as your profile name. The forum is moderated several times a day. Please do not confuse our forum with Telescope Reviews - Cloudy Nights which is a well established forum for the astronomy community. To join there, here is their link: http://www.cloudynights.com/

WHAT IS THE GEORGE H. LUTZ OBSERVATORY

WHO ARE WE? We are a small independent privately owned facility in Mountain Gate, CA. which is about 40-miles north west of Los Angeles overlooking the San Fernando Valley where we engage in Lunar, Planetary research and study with our 1960 A. Jaegers 6-inch refracting telescope along with providing on astronomy to the public. WHO IS GEORGE H. LUTZ? Mr. Lutz was a very well known astronomer and telescope builder in the 1920s-30s. Mr. Lutz was involved with professor Ritchey in the early stages of design and construction of the Ritchey Cretien reflecting telescope system which is widely used today. In addition to his work with professor Ritchey, Mr. Lutz designed and built a 36-inch reflecting telescope incorporating an optical coasting of his own design which was feAtured at the 1939 World's Fair in Chicago, IL. Mr. Lutz also wrote a book "Marvels of the Universe" 1938 DO YOU HAVE ANY PLANS FOR THE FUTURE? Yes like many observatories we always have plans to expand our facilities along with being very active in the astronomy community. We are an active member of several astronomy forums along with our activities at both Facebook and MySpace. THE OBSERVATORY: We use a small facility at a private home that is owned by a school. We have two telescopes which one being a refractor and the other is a dobsonian. In addition to this web page, we may be found at both Facebook and MySpace. NAME CHANGE: We might call ourselves the MT. LUTZ OBSERVATORY since our facility sits atop of a hill. A Lutz family member suggested the name too. VOICEMAIL: For our telephone number there is no voicemail but you may text message us. EMAIL: There is no public email address. MEMBERSHIP: Membership is free. You may simply join us by becoming a member of either our MySpace or Facebook page. After you join, we will place your name on our "Observatory Members" page here at this website. BUILDING PLANS: Yes we do have plans to either expand our existing facility or possibly build a science center along with the observatory or branch of the Los Angeles Public Library. We find the design of Frank Lloyd Wright's home "Falling Water" as one design concept for either a future science center or observatory.
