Refracting telescope observatory Stock Photos and Images
An old engraving of a large, refracting, astronomical telescope designed by Thomas Cooke in the 1800s. It is from a Victorian mechanical engineering book of the 1880s. Thomas Cooke (1807–1868) was a British scientific instrument maker based in York, England, UK. He founded T Cooke & Sons, a scientific instrument company. Cooke was one of the pioneers of making large telescopes in Britain. He successfully built a reputation for making them. He made a telescope for the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, London and another for Prince Albert.

An old engraving of The James Lick Telescope at the University of California's Lick Observatory, Mount Hamilton, California, USA c.1890. It is from an American history book of 1895. The James Lick Telescope is a refracting telescope built in 1888. It has a lens 91 centimetres (36 in) in diameter –a major achievement in its day and it was the largest refracting telescope in the world until 1897. It is on the summit of Mount Hamilton, in the Diablo Range just east of San Jose, California. The instrument (also called the ‘Great Lick Refractor’ or simply ‘Lick Refractor’) is still operating.

An old engraving showing a refracting telescope, Washington DC, USA c.1880. It is from a Victorian mechanical engineering book of the 1880s. In 1870 the federal government gave the head of the United States Naval Observatory $50,000 to build it. Alvan Clark and his son, Alvan Graham Clark, built the Naval Observatory an achromatic refractor with a 26-inch (66-centimetre) lens doublet in 1873. It was located on a hill north of the Lincoln Memorial, along the Potomac River, in Washington, DC. This 40-foot-long telescope was the biggest refracting telescope in the world in its day.

An old engraving of ‘Troughton’s transit circle’ of 1812. It is from a Victorian book of the 1880s. In astronomy, an astronomical transit is when a celestial body passes directly between a larger body and the observer. The smaller body appears to move across the face of the larger body. Many parameters of planets and stars can be established this way. The 6-foot mural circle, built by Edward Troughton, was installed at the Greenwich Observatory, London, England, UK in 1812. A mural circle is a telescope mounted on a circular frame aligned north-south. It measures the angular height of a star.
