Jarnac is an observatory located in southern Arizona, from which David Levy (asteroid 3673) has enjoyed the night sky for more than half a century. David was a long-time collaborator with the discoverer of this minor planet. The name originated from a small lake in rural Quebec, where Levy's family had a cottage.
