The Burnham Telescope

[SIDO]

A very interesting university talk on a man, double stars and his telescope circa 1870 to today as the instrument is still in use by students. Very neat to have this telescope just up the road from where I observe.

Such an interesting Astronomer and important contributer to the catalogue pin posted above this thread and double star observing itself, I thought there might be more interest.
