The telescopes of Captain James Cook

Hello all,
I finally finished a page on the telescopes that James Cook took
with him to observe the Transit of Venus
on June 3rd, 1769, in the South Seas. As most of you know, this led to
the discovery and mapping of New Zealand, Australia, and the Northwest
Passagae. This is the latest addition to my website,
http://www.antiquetelescopes.org. The Cook page is he
http://www.antiquetelescopes.org/cook.html. I still haven't finished the
pages on 18th and 19th century telescopes, but I will be working on them
in the coming weeks.
As usual, comments welcome.
Thanks for looking.
Clear skies.

Hello, Larry,
This web site, and the new page on the James Cook telescopes, is very
classy and well done, , which is something I associate with what else I have
seen of your work, including the eyepieces you make. Thanks for posting it..

Ciao,
Bill Meyers

Thanks Bill! Are you going out to Stonelick tonight? Scott and some of the
others were going out, but it's too cold for me to drive so far.

Hello, Larry,
Much too cold for me too. And damp. Too bad. Saturday night I am taking the
grandchildren to Cosi Fan Tutte at CCM, so Stonelick is unfortunately out then
too. Hope to see you at Stonelick on the next round,
Ciao,
Bill
