Western Nevada College

The Jack C. Davis Observatory is an astronomical observatory at Western Nevada College in Carson City, Nevada. The facility has three telescopes: two 0.4 m (16 in) reflecting telescopes and one 0.25 m (9.8 in) reflector. One telescope is equipped with a spectrograph. Outside the building, a 0.12 m (4.7 in) refractor has been installed under a robotic dome and is used for studying sunspots. All of the telescopes are equipped with cameras, and are connected to the Internet so large groups can access images from remote locations.A Campbell Scientific research-grade weather station is installed outside the observatory. The solar-powered instrument collects weather data and sends it to the Desert Research Institute in Reno, Nevada for analysis and on-line publication. The Planetary Walkway connects the main campus with the observatory. Lining the walkway are massive sandstone monuments created by artistic inmates from the Nevada State Prison at the prison's old quarry. The stones feature carved images of the planets, along with information about the planet and a dedication to the donors. The Western Nevada Astronomical Society is an observing group affiliated with Western Nevada College and the Jack C. Davis Observatory. The WNAS is dedicated to supporting the astronomical community through education, social functions, and service.

The area was the end of a nine-mile-long (14 km) lumber flume that brought timber used in Comstock Lode mines and was loaded there onto the Virginia & Truckee Railroad. The V&T ran right behind the house, essentially in the backyard. The house is near the underground large pipe that runs down from Marlette Lake through the same pipe up to Virginia City. This water pipe was an engineering marvel for its day, using only the water pressure flow from Marlette Lake. The water pressure alone forced the water back up to Virginia City. This water pipe from Marlette Lake continues to provide Virginia City fresh water. The house was later home of several succeeding supervisors and watermasters. The house is about four miles (6.4 km) northwest of downtown Carson City.
