Post Comments

Comment Guidelines

All comments are moderated. The goal is not simply to eliminate obnoxious stuff, but to only allow useful on-topic discussions -- it's not a place to hang out. Moderation time is expected to be a day or two in most cases, but I do take vacations.

Your comments will be read by me, but they may not be posted. In particular, saying thanks or "you rock" or whatever is certainly appreciated, but I won't add it to the public comments unless there's useful information there for others. Comments that say "you suck" are much more likely to be posted, as long as a reason is given that's somewhat productive. Posting a comment is not a promise to keep it here forever, I may remove any or all comments at any time.

I may edit postings for simple and obvious errors, and I may remove profanity. Only listed HTML terms are allowed in messages. Name and email address will be fully stripped or quoted to prevent HTML tag usage and other possible abuses.

You can provide either a public or a private email address, or none at all. Private addresses are good if you want a personal response from me. I do not provide any automatic notification of new comments.

There is no re-editing after posting, however you can simply post again, and hopefully I'll notice this in moderating, and will post the latest version. If your post is already up, just add another post with any corrections, and in most cases I'll pub up both posts, rather than hand- correcting the original.

Optional Name:
Optional Public Email: (WILL be on web page, although hidden*)
Optional Private Email: (will NOT be displayed, just for me to answer you if I want to)
Remember Me on this browser (uses cookie)
Carriage Returns are:
Allowed tags: <P> <BR> <PRE> <I> <B> <A>.

Prove that you are human by entering here:

*Email addresses are scrambled and encoded in a non-mailto URL. People with javascript see a normal working email link, but robots (and people) without javascript see a URL with gibberish in it. This link is a sample with working javascript (clicking should bring up a mailer), and this link is appoximately how it looks without javascript (click to see how your address will look to people without javascript). If you view the source, you'll see they're all gibberish.

 What fantastic collection! I'm looking for images of the 13-inch Boyden telescope, the Draper camera 11-inch in Cambridge.

 Such photos definitely exist. I haven't done the work of sorting through them and identifying which instruments are which. Plate stacks might have some of these photos already identified. platestacks.cfa.harvard.edu
