Tour of Observatory

The Troughton Equatorial Telescope

I took the tour of the Observatory yesterday. The staff were enormously helpful, and the highlight was going up through the South Tower to see the original telescope in its dome. Together, they are the oldest examples of their kind in the world.

Although the current Director was unavailable on the day, I have been put in touch with a former employee who may be able to help in my ongoing quest for primary sources!
