The Miller Observatory is a privately owned astronomical facility located on the outskirts of Lincoln, NE. The observatory was founded in 2004 by Tom Miller, a long time amateur astronomer. Construction on the observatory began in early 2004 and lasted for several months until the fall. While construction was then officially finished, the observatory is always a work in progress. The observatory was founded mainly in order to make observations for scientific research (originally to conduct a supernova search). However, a partnership was formed with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in which a campaign for photometric monitoring of Active Galactic Nuclei was established.

This has helped the observatory establish itself as a scientific research facility. These observations plus many more continue today. In addition to science, the observatory has a wide range of resources that allow us to take beautiful images of the cosmos. The Miller Observatory will continue to grow in the near future. We hope to continue producing science and beautiful images for years into the future. While we have a busy observing schedule, the Miller Observatory is open for observational project ideas and research observations. Please contact us with observation proposals.
