The Etelman Astronomical Observatory (EAO) is located on the beautiful Caribbean island of St. Thomas, Virgin Islands. The observatory houses a 0.5-m robotic telescope with imaging capabilities at optical wavelengths. This observatory is maintained by the College of Science and Mathematics, University of The Virgin Islands. EAO is located on one of the highest points of St. Thomas (18o, 21’ N, 65o, W at an elevation of 420 meters). Thus making it the south-easternmost optical observatory in the United States.
We will show the potential this small observatory for this community, particularly for exoplanet searches.
