Hi All
This week welcome back to the club Mr Bill Barton FRAS.
Bill describes the "Biggest telescope in the World" in the period 1845-1917. It covers the telescope's planning, construction, use and demise. Perhaps surprisingly, it was not at a major observatory or on the top of a high faraway mountain, but in an aristocrat's garden in central Ireland.
Bill took early retirement from his position as a signal engineer with Network rail in 2014, and since than has devoted himself to researching astronomical history. He is currently:- Deputy Director of the Historical Section of the British Astronomical Association, The Society for the History of Astronomy’s County Coordinator for Suffolk, and a Trustee of the Orwell Astronomical Society (Ipswich).
