About the ROR
The CIERA Remote Observing Room (ROR) is located on the 8th Floor of 1800 Sherman Avenue in Evanston, Illinois at Northwestern University. It is a site designed for the Keck Observatory, on Hawaii’s Maunakea. It is one of a network of remote observatories and the only non-coastal Keck remote observatory in the country. The CIERA ROR is comprised of two identical observing stations. The facility allows for at least two observers, student training, and instrument certifications.
