Made possible by the generous donation of Joel and Joan Seif, a 16-inch LX-200 GPS Schmidt Cassegrain telescope was installed under the 16-foot Ash Dome of the MVAS Apollo Observatory on November 26, 2002.

On October 25, 2012 the Seif Telescope was moved to the Barton-Brown Observatory at the Waterville Public Library, 206 White Street, Waterville, NY.
