Subject: Historic Telescopes of Poland


An essay, 'Historic Telescopes of Poland', describing 26 Observatories in
Poland, has been posted as a Word .doc to:
http://home.europa.com/~telscope/tspoland.doc
A plain text version is at:
http://home.europa.com/~telscope/tspoland.txt

Additions and corrections to this text are very welcome. Images of
telescopes are needed, for a presentation on this topic.

Telescopes in Poland date from 1613, a solar telescope used by Alexius
Sylvius in Kalisz. There are many unusual and interesting instruments in
this history.
