Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book documents the correspondence between the members of a committee commissioned in 1852 by the British Association for the Advancement of Science to assemble a team to establish a Southern Telescope. The book gathers correspondence by esteemed astronomers including Lord Rosse, the Earl of Rosse, and Sir John Herschel. The letters provide insight into the challenges they faced in designing and constructing the telescope, which would be used for the observation of nebulae in the southern hemisphere. The book discusses the relative merits of altitude and azimuth versus equatorial mountings, possible locations for the observatory, and the equipment required for such a project. These letters serve as a fascinating glimpse into the history of astronomy and the development of large telescopes and observatories for advancing our understanding of the cosmos.
