Sola Fide Observatory is an astronomical observatory in Minnesota, about three miles south of Austin, owned and operated by staff and volunteers from the JC Hormel Nature Center. Its principal instrument is an eighteen-inch, fully computerized Starmaster Dobsonian telescope. In 2019, the site was expanded with a ten-foot by sixty-foot concrete observing strip equipped with one hundred twenty-volt A.C. power poles, as well as three separate concrete observing pads without power.
