The Owl Observatory is a privately owned small but modern research facility located on the Keweenaw Peninsula in northern Michigan.
This location is set between the shore of Lake Superior and an extensive wooded area and features very dark skies far from city lights. The observatory is equipped with a 16 inch Cassegrain telescope on a massive German mount. The principal instruments used are the Howard Research GaAs photometer and the CATNIP 3 Optical SETI Device.
The Owl Observatory's principal mission is searching the dark sky for laser transmissions from Extraterrestrial Civilizations.
