		The new Arthur J. Dyer Observatory, equipped with a 24-inch reflector telescope, was finally completed in December 1953.
		Carl Seyfert became director of Dyer Observatory, a post he held for the rest of his life.
		In 1951, he observed and described a group of galaxies around NGC 6027, now known as "Seyfert's Sextet." He was involved in several instrumentation innovations, including the use of photomultiplier tubes and television techniques in astronomy, and electronically controled telescope drives.

	Bill Keel's Telescope Life List - Nashville
		The primary instrument at Dyer Observatory, which is located on the southern edge of Nashville, is the 61-cm (24") Seyfert telescope, which was named for Carl Seyfert to honor his role in the construction of both telescope and observatory.
		The first observations I got at Dyer were of moving targets, which taught me a lesson.
		The observatory also hosts a 12-inch Cassegrain reflector built by the late John De Witt Jr.

	Mars viewing makes quiet observatory a star - Thursday, 08/28/03 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-22)
		Rick Chappell, director of Vanderbilt University's Dyer Observatory, estimated that between 800 and 1,000 people turned up for the chance to look at the red planet through the observatory's 24-inch window onto the universe.
		The observatory was scheduled to be open from 11 p.m.-3 a.m., but tailgaters caused officials to open the doors shortly after Mars rose from behind the trees in the southeast at 9:30.
		However, the observatory's library, estimated to be about an hour's wait from the telescope, offered books, projected movies and interactive computer displays.

		Carl Seyfert, a Vanderbilt University astronomy professor known for his discovery of a special class of galaxies, was instrumental in the creation of Dyer Observatory in the early 1950s.
		Mella was the one to suggest the union between Dyer, which sits atop Nashville’s second tallest peak, and Drury, who has spent the last 25 years creating large-scale outdoor works in the U.S., Japan and Europe.
		The trio settled on the shape of a galaxy as a salute to Seyfert.

		Vanderbilt Dyer Observatory Superintendent Rocky Alvey (a nationally recognized amateur astronomer) guides this session of images, commentary, video and demonstration to explore the history of telescopes and improvements in the technology over time.
		This program originates in the main observatory dome at Dyer, so it offers a unique opportunity for students to see how an observatory dome works and to peer into the inner workings of a large research telescope, the 24-inch Seyfert Telescope.
		Alvey, Dyer Observatory Superintendent and a chairperson of the International Space Station Astronomical Telescope project, will share images, telescopes of various kinds, and resources from his considerable store of knowledge in the field of astronomical imaging.

	Sun-Earth Day 2004 Venus Transit
		Participating museums, planetariums, observatories and amateur astronomers will be able to upload their telescopic images of the transit to VTIE and be a part of this historic collection of data.
		From these images, you should be able to detect the Venusian atmosphere, derive a distance to Venus as well as the Astronomical Unit (AU), calculate an orbital period for Venus, and derive a diameter for the planet.
		The Transit of Venus may be a rare event, but it has proved important to early calculations of the distance from Earth to the Sun.
