equatorial telescope

In some cases an observatory would move to a new location, or the equatorial telescope itself would be removed.

By 1859 Scott was making systematic observations and in 1861 the acquisition of an equatorial telescope enabled him to expand his work.

He also designed the mounting for a fine equatorial telescope worked by a driving clock, which he had himself invented.

Equatorial telescope mounts come in many designs.

Merz Equatorial Telescope is the most important instrument of the Observatory.

I even keep a five-inch equatorial telescope in a pent house on my roof for amateur observations."

The estate provides housing to the Equatorial Telescope Buildings, which have been converted to an interactive science centre for schoolchildren.

The telescopes are mounted on an equatorial telescope mount built by Optical Mechanics, Inc..

In his own words, he jokes that he was "too retarded" to build a more sophisticated telescope with an equatorial telescope mount.

In 1893 Liverpool Astronomical Society obtained the 5" Cooke equatorial telescope.

Professor Frisby observed several eclipses for the government, computed the orbit of the comet of 1882, and had charge of the 12-inch equatorial telescope until his retirement.

The Observatory also purchased Earnshaw's second clock which was operated at sidereal rate with Edward Troughton's Equatorial Telescope.

Knorre took an interest in the improvement of astronomical equipment, and published papers on an improved equatorial telescope mount, referred to as the "Knorre & Heele" mount.

For visual observing, most notably on equatorial telescope mounts, tube orientation can put the eyepiece in a very poor viewing position, and larger telescopes require ladders or support structures to access it.

In 1923, the equatorial telescope by G. Rubb was erected and a seismograph, Milne-Shaw pattern, was installed for the study of earthquakes and a second machine was added in 1929.

It is usually referred to in observatory buildings that contain more than one type of instrument: for example buildings with an "equatorial room" containing an equatorial telescope and a "transit room" containing a transit telescope.

An equatorial platform or equatorial table is an equatorial telescope mount in the form of a specially designed platform that allows any device sitting on it to track astronomical objects in the sky on an equatorial axis.

The 1858 building designed by the Colonial Architect, Alexander Dawson, comprised a dome to house the equatorial telescope, a room with long, narrow windows for the transit telescope, an office for calculations, and a residence for the astronomer.

In 1795 he delivered the Troughton Equatorial Telescope to the Armagh Observatory, a 2 inch aperture refractor telescope mounted equatorially, and its first major instrument since its founding in 1790 (It survived into the 21st century also).

His first undertaking at the Dublin Observatory was the erection of an equatorial telescope to carry the fine object-glass presented to the university by Sir James South; and on its completion he began an important series of researches on stellar parallax.

Non equatorial mount: Because the Dobsonian design is optimized to be a portable, large aperture, inexpensive, deep sky instrument geared towards visual observing, an expensive (and massive) equatorial telescope mount with clock drive was intentionally left out of the design.

From 1862 to 1864 he was president of the Paisley Philosophical Institution, and in 1882 he presented to the society the observatory situated on Oakshaw Hill; he furnished it with an equatorial telescope and other instruments, and provided a residence and endowment for the curator.

At his request the university decided to build a fine equatorial telescope for the instruction of his class and for purposes of research, a scheme which, as a result of Warren de la Rue's munificent gift of instruments from his private observatory at Cranford, expanded into the establishment of the new university observatory.
