D~:::t 'kJY. 2039 i\.spe:;., ::~Q ~;~_61l I ~~~Qrs:a~1 that you have purchased a home on Hopkins street and wish to install or build an astronomical observatory in it for your son's use. I have considerable experience in the use of astronomical telescopes and would like to offer you the following advice before you proceed with this commendable venture. as possible It is preferable to install any telescope as far from a city\with its light and glare. Since you are confined to the city you should do what is possible to reduce the problem of city light glare. All that you can do, is to build your observatory as high from the ground as possifule, and to keep your efforts from being near worthless, you must manage to get the level of the telescope above the level , of surrounding street lights. TI'R reason for this is that you cannot look through a bright light source and see a dim object such as star nebula. And of course you get the added bonus of increased field of view if your telescope is mounted above surrounding buildings and trees. This will bring another problem into the situation, and that is stability. No building can b~esigned solid enough to suitably support an astronomical telescope of any size. It is not a question of the weight of the instrument, but of vibration. It is practically impossible to walk across a building floor without creatinF a small vibration, and if the floor should be supporting a telescope operating at 100 power, then the vibrations are multiplied 100 times, making observation impossible. To control the vibration problem, you must isolate the telescope from the building. This can be done by mounting the telescope on a concrete or steel pillar f~rmly imbedded in the ground. The pillar should pass through any existing floors without contact with the floors and the size of the pillar should be at least six inches of diameter for each five feet of height. Should you desirQ further or more detailed information on this subject, please feel free to call on me at any time. - ,} / ,j '/ J,UI, /I,f-'/IJ,. o LU___.Lt_'LI..____ci.. [ - --,' / '
