In the early 1950's the telescope, a 26-inch refracting telescope, was transferred to the Mt. Stromlo Observatory in Australia and continued to be operated by the Yale-Columbia consortium.
In 1990 the El Leoncito Observatory was renamed The Dr. Carlos U. Cesco Observatory on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the beginning of observations in honor of Dr. Cesco's many contributions to the founding and operation of the Observatory.
As mentioned previously, the Cesco Observatory was built with funds from the Ford Foundation and is operated jointly by the UNSJ and the YSO.

The Fabra Observatory of Barcelona was founded the 1904, being since then property of the Royal Academy of Sciences and Arts of Barcelona, which is in charge of its operation and maintenance.
In 1798, the Observatory was transferred to the Island of León, where it had been constructed, according to the planes of Marquis of Ureña, the still current magnificent see.
The foundation of the Royal Observatory of Cadiz was oriented to improve, by means of astronomical observations, the precision of the stars positions, as well as to provide to navigators the necessary elements for the proper practice of this discipline.

Since arriving at the U.S. Naval Observatory in 1961, he was the motive force behind an extensive program of double star observation (being, himself, a prolific observer having the second largest number of double star measurements ever achieved by one person), instrumental innovation, and double star cataloging.
It is now realized that not only must double stars be identified and calibrated in order to produce the best astrometric catalogs of stellar positions, but also the varying centers of emission at different wavelength bands must be taken into account to meet modern high-precision astrometric needs.
In 1991 he was elected as vice-president of Commission 26 of the IAU (Multiple & Double Stars) and became president of that commission at the IAU General Assembly in 1994.

The Felix Aguilar Observatory operates an astrographic telescope (installed by Yale-Columbia Universities) and a 70 cm reflector.
We think that d Scuti stars in the southern hemisphere are not adequately  monitored due to the lack of observatories as well as astronomers devoted to this field of the astrophysical knowledge.

The Yale-San Juan speckle interferometry program, a collaboration primarily between Yale Southern Observatory and the Universidad Nacional de San Juan (Argentina) was active between 1994 and 1996, using two telescopes at the El Leoncito, Argentina, site.
We present the status of the analysis of these data, information regarding measurement precision at the 76-cm telescope, observational statistics such as number of stars analyzed and a histogram of the seeing measures, and some sample results.
We gratefully acknowledge NSF support of the Yale Southern Observatory and support from the Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science at RIT.

We plan to develop most of the activities of the ISYA at CASLEO, with a visit or two to the Carlos Ulrico Cesco observatory.
The facilities of the Carlos Ulrico Cesco Observatory will be visited and the possibility of performing some observing there will also be considered.

 Giant UFO Over Two Continents - by James Oberg
According to the story (which was featured in two issues of the APRO Bulletin), the UFO was seen in three Argentine provinces and in Arica, Chile, at 9:00 PM.
At the Felix Aguilar Observatory an official said the UFO (with a "classic" shape of a "flying saucer") crossed the sky at a great rate of speed, left a luminous, sparkling wake and disappeared into the northeast.
Control tower operators and airline pilots watched it in awe; at Cordoba observers estimated it to be about 600 feet off the ground.
