So happy to see the Yerkes Observatory again, but this time restored. I grew up in Wisconsin in the 50's and did not know it existed. This is truly an American Treasure !

What a majestic piece of history and a beautiful refractor. Im just enjoying the video and learning all about it. I do have an old image of that famous telescope with Albert Einstein stood with a group of astronomers from last century.

My granddaughter, daughter and I met you two on the trolley from East Troy to The Pampered Farmer. This is the first of your videos I have viewed. We visited Yerkes that same trip and was so impressed. I found your page from the latest Yerkes newsletter. I will check out your other projects. Come up to Elkhorn in August for Das Fest- it would make a fun video too.

I'm so glad you reached out. We loved Yerkes! Thanks for the tip. Our best videos usually come from suggestions from our viewers. If you are in the Wisconsin area - and have not been to Epic systems in Verona it is incredible - we do have a video on that.

Edward Emerson (E. E.) Barnard was one of the first astrophotographers and identified comets, a Jovian moon (Amalthea), and 370 dark nebulae in his Barnard Catalogue including The Horsehead Nebula (aka Barnard 33 or B33). Barnard was at Yerkes in 1895 after joining University of Chicago as professor of Astronomy. Mary Calvert was his niece and assistant at Yerkes from 1905. He did all of this without ever graduating from college (he was awarded Doctorates for his lifetime of discoveries). He logged more observing hours on the 40-inch telescope at Yerkes than any other observer. Clear Skies and God Bless from an astrophotographer in the Black Hills of South Dakota!

enough talks, just put a camera for a real idea of what it's like through a 1 meter refractor.
