Description: | Field Eclipse Equatorial Telescope. This telescope was used on an eclipse expedition. Although it is unclear on which expedition it was used, it is likely to have been one in the first half of the 20th century to which Astronomer Royal Dyson sent Observatory staff. It used the mounting originally built for the astrographic telescope [AST0931]. Since arriving at the NMM in 1988 this telescope has never been assembled.
Telescope: This telescope has a 20-inch tube, 21feet in length. The object glass and plate holder are missing.
Stand: see AST0931
15 parts of this object have been found and can be viewed via the WHOLE/PART toggle.
This object was discovered by the Collections Inventory Project with no numbers or documentation.; It needs further Cataloguing and updating when information becomes available. This "field equatorial with 20 inch tube" was aquired from the RGO (Royal Greenwich Observatory), Herstmonceux as a gift on 15th November 1988. It was given reference number OO/Rf30, but this was for some reason not converted into an AST number along with the rest of the Astronomy Collection. | Publisher: | "http://collections.rmg.co.uk/" | Subjects: | Refracting telescope Equatorial Observatory Telescopes | Source: | Royal Museums Greenwich | Identifier: | http://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections... | Go to resource |
