Brasstown Valley resort is proud to host the Young Harris College Observatory.

In addition to the main telescope housed in a 15-foot dome, the facility also contains piers which mount two 8-inch scopes. The observatory has a number of other telescopes that can be used on the site as well.

The observatory is located at an elevation of over 2000 feet on the flanks of Brasstown Bald, the tallest peak in Georgia. The site is on Georgia state property, near the beautiful Brasstown Valley Resort. The high elevation, combined with the relatively low light pollution in the area, make for excellent viewing conditions on clear star-filled nights!
