Hawley is related to the John F. Hawley who wrote the 1991 paper with Balbus (not Babul, alas).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00450778319799934328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612697638678594412.post-9736520957964083262012-08-27T11:20:38.800-07:002012-08-27T11:20:38.800-07:00Interestingly, I went searching for a picture of t...Interestingly, I went searching for a picture of the observatory I used during the summers as a teenager and found that the house is for sale , for anyone with a cool $3.5M to spare http://www.seaboardpropertiesre.com/list-Fishers_Island_Sound_Waterfront.htm. You can take a virtual tour of the observatory. The telescope looks a bit rusty, but I can attest from personal experience that with some steel wool and elbow grease and a few cans of marine gray it will clean up well. If the setting circles are stuck, try judicious application of cocoa cola and leverage :)Harry Fergusonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02737594514049700386noreply@blogger.com
