What a powerful looking telescope! And no wonder - I confess having no idea who Maria Mitchell was until I read a few of your articles about her.

Quite bold, in those days, to venture forth where no woman had previously gone.

How very cool (I did know about Maria Mitchell’s accomplishments). Methinks a pilgrimage is in order.
