Brashear telescopes Galleries

Brashear Center Museum : Dave and I are fortunate to live in the Pittsburgh, PA area which was one of the places famous telescope maker John A Brashear also called home. His humble beginings as an instrumeter builder began a short distance from this musuem. An entire building was erected in John's honor. Years ago I made telescopes in the basement of this building which also hosed a small machine shop. Telescope making is no longer praticed there however an area on the first floor still serves after many years as a shrine to John. He are a few pictures. All images taken at Brashear Center in Pittsburgh's south side by Dave Smith.
