1839 3-foot telescope at Birr Castle, Parsonstown by French

Summary edit

Description
English: To Birr/Parsonstown for the start of the week and the amazing telescope there. Clearly in the early days of the development of the telescope with the structure laid bare. It is hard to imagine how much things have changed since then with enormous telescopes sent into space and detecting not only the stars but the black holes left where stars once were!

Photographer: Robert French
