Braeside Observatory is a privately owned astronomical observatory previously owned and operated by Arizona State University.
It is located five miles west of Flagstaff, Arizona (US), near the U.S.
The observatory was founded in 1976 by Robert Fried, a retired Delta Air Lines captain, after a chance meeting with Sir Patrick Moore inspired him to turn his astronomical hobby into something more concrete.
After Mr. Fried's death in 2003, the university committed itself to keeping the observatory open as an educational and research facility.
