Ralph McConnell of the Barnard Astronomical Society installs new digital setting circles to help finding objects faster in the historic telescope at UTC’s Clarence T. Jones Observatory.

Here in Chattanooga, the Clarence T. Jones Observatory - part of our campus, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga - hosts star parties during the fall and spring semesters at UTC.

In recent years, the Observatory has seen a few upgrades - as we hear in the third and final part of a podcast series produced by Miller Richardson, a student in UTC’s Department of Communication, as an intern for “Scenic Roots” here on WUTC.
