History
The observatory is located on the northernmost point of the Baldwin Wallace University campus. Built in 1940, the observatory is named after Katherine Ward Burrell as a memorial to her late husband Edward P. Burrell. The observatory houses a Warner & Swasey refracting telescope with a 133⁄8-inch objective, a 4-inch finder, and a 1-inch finder.[1]
gollark: Do you think I just have access to a bunch of aluminium cutting machines or whatever it is?
gollark: ... no.
gollark: I'm looking at getting a 4GB RPi4, heatsink case and SSD to replace my ageing tower server.
gollark: The 3 has a quad-core ARMv8 CPU with better clocks than previous generations, the 4 has better clocks again and a better (A72) core design, so about 2x the CPU perf of the 3. Also more RAM options.
gollark: I find that in the UK it's actually significantly more expensive.
