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. Larry Brown |
