The observatory is named after Howard R. who designed the viewing platform and installed the Dual Optical 500 Micrometer Scope. You can see him on the right in this picture adjusting the optics on the DO500. On the left is Peter B his assistant on the installation.
This another view of the Rotter Observatory in operation.
