Southern Utah Observatory

The University of Utah is building a new Astronomical Observatory at a high altitude site in Southern Utah. The Southern Utah Observatory (SUO) Telescope will be outfitted with a 32" R-C telescope manufactured by DFM, and will feature optical and IR focal plane instrumentation as well as capability for remote/robotic operations. In this talk, I will describe the status of SUO Telescope Project, including surveys of atmospheric seeing and night sky darkness measured at potential observatory locations.
