Hello all, => A planetary imaging pioneer passed away in Miami, Florida.
"He built several telescopes during the 1950s, including an 8-inch f/7.5 Newtonian reflector that was featured in the November 1957 issue of Sky & Telescope." Excerpts: A versatile observing setup with an 8-inch reflector: Don Parker finds that an old oil drum makes a convenient observing chair for lunar and planetary observing. Before the Parker telescope can be covered with its compact-fitting plywood shelter, the tube must be turned into the meridian and pointed to the north pole of the sky.
