About our Observatory 

Like most astronomers, I've had a love for the night sky since childhood!  Introduced at the age of 7 by my father, a TV Meteorologist, while he was doing a story on astronomers in San Antonio, I was hooked for life!   My dad bought me a book, 'A field guide to the Stars and Planets', by Jay M. Pasachoff and I spent years reading it nearly every day!  That book sits on my office shelf as a prized possession.  I bought an updated copy for every day use about 10 years ago.  

We live just north of San Antonio in Bulverde and control our observatory remotely from the comfort of our couch!  It has taken years of experimentation and frustration create a reliable observatory but the effort has (or will be worth it).  

The Lozano Observatory is dedicated to inspiring curiosity about the universe. Our current remote controlled observatory, is a Sky Shed POD-S dome, which houses a Software Bisque Series 6 Paramount MX with Absolute Encoders.  This equatorial mount is a high precision robotically controlled plateform allowing me to capture images for hours at a time.  The observatory is designed primarily as an imaging platform, although we do have a piggybacked mounted refractor for visual observing. 

 We purchased 6.5 acres outside of Junction Texas in 2024 and constructed our 2nd observatory.

My wife Lynn and have been married over 28 years and have two children, a 26 year old son who is an Army officer and a 22 year old daughter who is a computer science graduate student.
