Another old telescope this time from 1867
Hi all,

well, me and old telescopes just keep finding each other. On neither occasion was I looking for one, but there it is...

I was handed this one on Friday, and have since pulled it into a million bits, measured and photo documented the whole thing, done some research online and written a new web page for my site.

Enjoy the read!

I got the tripod on Monday morning and have now finished the restoration and put it all together.

Finished story here. http://www.asignobservatory.com/1867_w.macdonnell_co._refractor.aspx
