WWIN Observatory is owned by Keith Yohn. It is located in Cabot Arkansas about 30 minutes North East of Little Rock. It was constructed over 5 days during Thanksgiving 2007.

The Observatory is a 10 x 16 foot roll-off roof structure currently housing a 10" Meade LX200GPS SCT. The building contains a 10 x 10 foot area for the telescope and a 6 x 10 foot control room with a plexiglass window. The control room is fully climate controlled and the plexiglass window allows monitoring of the telescopes movements without having to leave the comfort of the control room.
