I'm needing a copy of the Tinsley ad on page 368 of that issue for my
web page on the history of a local private observatory. See the
Morgan Observatory page at http://odin.prohosting.com/leamb/Morgan/ if
you're interested.
Supposedly the telescope pictured in the Tinsley ad is one of the
Morgan telescopes. If someone could scan that ad I'd really
appreciate it.
Thanks,
Les

Very nice articles! I just read through the "Origin of the Morgan
Observatory". It was interesting to find that Ben and Ronnie met and
came to know John Charles Duncan at Lowell. We are the webmasters of
the Horsehead Nebula website, and our research article about the early
photos of that nebula deals with Duncan. Dr. Alan Sandage told my
husband that Dr. Duncan was highly respected by the astronomers at
Palomar for his achievements in early nebular photography with the
Hooker telescope on Mt. Wilson. He was a very nice gentleman whom Dr.
Sandage liked: Duncan was thrilled, as an elderly retired man, to be
allowed to guide a photograph with the Hale 200" telescope when
Sandage was researching RR Lyrae variables in M-15. If the Morgans
impressed Duncan, they really *were* remarkably informed amateur
astronomers!

Glad you enjoyed reading the site and thanks for your comments. Dr.
Duncan must have been a nice gentleman in addition to being a good
scientist.
