Experiences with a 60mm Telescope
2001
That, I hear, was the gist of a conversation between an astronoical friend of mine (the one who found Neptune) and another, more prominent astronomer (who questioned his finding) at a star party some years ago. I understand that the experience changed the attitude of the latter to small telescopes — in this case a 100mm (4-inch) refractor, I recall — for ever. He was “converted”. this anecdote impressed me also, for it shows what can be done with a small telescope.
