It's at least 80 years old, with a direct connection to Russell W. Porter, and probably handled personally by his second-in-command at Stellafane at the time, John M. Pierce.
It's a safe bet that had not Porter and his friends started the telescope-making movement in America back then, the face of amateur astronomy today would be very, very different. _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy
