“Note on Apparatus for Photographing the Moon,” by 
A. Brothers, F.K.A.S. 
About twenty years ago I read before the Photographic 
Section of this Society a paper on Celestial FhotograpJiy. 
The paper contains a description of a piece of apparatus 
which I contrived and adapted to a telescope, so as to 
dispense with a camera in photographing the Moon or other 
celestial objects. As I have recently been asked by 
Mr. E. G. Loder to obtain for him one of these instruments, 
and as there are some improvements' introduced, and 
probably no member present has seen the apparatus, I have 
brought it for inspection. 
When the eyepiece of a telescope is removed, the image of 
the Moon can be brought to a focus on a piece of ground 
glass in the same way as in an ordinary camera, and a 
picture could be taken on a plate held in that position.
