Will this do - also posted in Parks thread! Picture Sheffield Link - Telescope Another Picture Sheffield Image - the Observatory in 1895 Rebuilt in Weston Park to house a large telescope originally owned by Thomas Rawson Barker - donated to the town by his daughter. Opened 20 September 1880. There was a curator who was available Wednesday and Saturday evenings during the winter to supervise visitors & give instruction. It is believed it was removed during WW2. The telescope was equatorially mounted, was 8ft in diameter focal length and had an object lens 6 inches in diameter. It had nine eyepieces of avrious powers. It was fitted with a clockwork drive to keep it fixed on an object Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
