For those stargazing with extra curiosity, may be delighted to get closer to nebulosity, From a telescope over a century old, the greatest made as we are told. A humble astronomer with large starry dreams, equally designed a mechanism for viewing planetary means. Placing this great telescope on an observatory of wonder, teaching all beings of the skies we live under. Debuting such an anomaly as a fair ground attraction, the instrument still holds the universe in its gentle refraction. Archenhold was this astronomer’s name and The Great Refractor telescope is his ardent acclaim.
