[edit] Telescope size

At http://www.sydneyobservatory.com.au/about/aboutUs.asp it states: a historic 29cm lens telescope built in 1874, a 42cm computer controlled telescope and hydrogen-alpha solar telescope I will update the article accordingly. We are metric now but in inches 29 cm is approximately 12 inches. The anon changes to 11" from 16" are thus probably right.--Golden Wattle talk 23:33, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
