Harry Bayley Observatory

Harry Bayley Observatory

harrybayleyThe Harry Bayley Observatory, named after Dr. Harry Bayley is the only observatory in the Caribbean. Dr. Bayley was an esteemed medical doctor who also had an eye for photography and astronomy. In 1956, he founded the Barbados Astronomical Society and from 1958, he becaming a driving force towards the construction of an observatory. Finally in 1963, the Harry Bayley Observatory was built in his memory. It is located in Clapham, St. Michael and quite unexpectedly,sits amidst a residential area.

 

The 14″ telescope, more specifically Celestron 14″ Reflector telescope, is the highlight to a visit to the observatory. It affords you a clear view of the cosmos, putting it all in perspective. Sadly, the Harry Bayley Observatory has been closed until further notice. For any information on re-opening dates, call (246) 426-1317.
