Selu Observatory is currently in the process of performing maintenance and upgrading
our equipment. Regular public viewing nights on Fridays will resume after the upgrades
have been completed. Please email observatory@radford.edu, if you are interested in receiving status updates on when the Selu Observatory will
reopen.
Directions to the Selu Observatory
Turn at Comfort Inn Suites in Radford onto Lovely Mount Drive; proceed for 0.8 mile.
Turn LEFT onto Dry Valley Road and cross the bridge over the interstate (I-81); proceed
for 1.4 mile;
The turn is easy to miss; portions of this road are unpaved. Follow the road to the
end, where it will climb a hill and stop at the Selu Conservancy retreat center. The
building that looks like a barn with a silo houses Selu Observatory.
