The Elginfield Observatory is an astronomical observatory located in the township of Middlesex Centre, Ontario (Canada), about 25 kilometres (16 mi) north of London, Ontario. The observatory is owned and operated by the University of Western Ontario, and opened in 1969. The observatory features a 1.2 m (47 in) Ritchey–Chrétien telescope built by Boller and Chivens which is used for spectroscopy and photometry. The telescope can be configured to feed instruments at the Cassegrain, Nasmyth, and Coudé foci. Recent research includes monitoring the changing size of Cepheid variable stars, estimating out-gasing of minor planets, and searching for large Perseid meteoroids.

dbo:abstract
  • Das Elginfield-Observatorium (Elginfield Observatory) ist eine kanadische Sternwarte in , etwa 25 Kilometer nördlich von London, in der Provinz Ontario. Es ist im Besitz der University of Western Ontario und wird auch durch diese betrieben. Das Observatorium wurde im Jahre 1969 eröffnet und trägt die IAU-Nummer 440. Als Hauptinstrument dient ein Ritchey-Chrétien-Teleskop mit einem Durchmesser von 47 Zoll (1,2 m), das als Cassegrain-, Nasmyth- oder Coudé-Teleskop konfiguriert werden kann. Das Teleskop wird überwiegend für Spektroskopie und Photometrie eingesetzt. Neueste Forschungen befassen sich mit der Überwachung von Größenveränderungen bei Cepheiden, der Abschätzung von Ausgasungen bei Asteroiden sowie der Suche nach großen Perseiden. (de)
