Children enjoyed using the race track in the Children’s Museum during our last Family Craft Day which was superhero-themed in celebration of the new My Hero: Contemporary Art & Superhero Action exhibition.

DEAR FRIENDS,

It is hard to believe we are already so far into an exciting 2019 here at the Museum of Arts & Sciences. We have already had some great programs and events and are looking forward to the ones we are working on which I ANDREW SANDALL think you will all enjoy.

Sometimes it is crazy to think about just how many events we have going on here each quarter. Hopefully you feel that there is something for everyone and that we are meeting our goal of continuing to make MOAS a great place to socialize for both our members and the community through the many weekend and after-hours events you can find in our calendar.

We are trying something new in this month’s edition of Arts & Sciences Magazine by introducing a series of “How To…” articles written by our staff. We hope that you enjoy this new feature and wish for us to continue it in future issues. This idea came about after some conversations we had between staff regarding the types of questions that we are asked regularly.

Many guests approach us looking to take the first steps to venture into a new hobby or interest and are in search of information to set them off in the right direction. The more I asked around to staff, the more I heard that there were a wide variety of these “How To…” topics that could be explored, so we thought we would start adding them to our magazine. It was interesting for me to hear from our staff about the types of questions we get and the wide range of subjects that our visitors request information on. It was also a great reminder of the vast number of subjects that we cover and that our staff specialize in. We are certainly a great resource for people wanting to start a new hobby in the arts, sciences, or in an aspect of history!

All of this reminded me of one of the reasons that I first decided to make my career in museums way back in my hometown in the early 90s. I had held several other jobs while looking for a

4 ARTS & SCIENCES MAGAZINE

career that really excited me. A job in my town’s museum became available and by the end of my first week I realized that it was a career I could love. What amazed me in that first week was just how many different tasks were performed every day and how no two days ever seemed alike.

All these years later it still feels the same way – with surprises and opportunities to learn new skills and explore new subjects seemingly around every corner.

Something that struck me a little while ago was that even though I have worked in museums covering all kinds of subjects and collections, I have never really forgotten what I learned while in those early positions. With a career that has covered working in several medieval buildings, to working with the world’s biggest collection of railroad photography, to the social history of people working in the fishing industry in a small town in eastern England, and then later to managing and maintaining the house visited by George Washington and Alexander Hamilton, and where Aaron Burr was married in 1782, it is quite amazing the amount of information I have built up over the years and even more amazing how quickly I can recall it when asked a question. The information stored comes up in odd circumstances and situations sometimes – for instance, I have gotten used to the fact that my years working at the National Railway Museum in England have left me entirely unable to not correct anyone who refers to a locomotive as a “train.” I have tried, I promise! But it was drilled into me so deeply during my time in that museum that it is now a reflex action on my part.

Moving forward, I hope you enjoy these articles – and if you have something you have always wanted to know how to do and would like an idea on how and where to start that we might be able to help with, then please get in touch with us and let us know! We really do value your feedback on the magazine and the Museum in general. It is vital in helping us understand how we can continue to provide the service we strive to produce for our community.

Garden of the

Heart’s Desire

A Disappearing Art Form Explored

BY RUTH GRIM, CHIEF CURATOR/GARY R. LIBBY CURATOR OF ART

Beginning April 18 and running until July 21 of 2019, the Museum of Arts & Sciences will be showing a rare collection of 18th and 19th Century traditional Persian textiles in its West Wing and Root Hall Galleries. Over sixty examples of these elegant, sumptuously embroidered and woven works will be on display, providing a unique opportunity to experience the timehonored artisanship of this ancient culture.

Following is an interview with Mahin Ghanbari, owner of the textiles in the Garden of the Heart’s Desire: Selections from the Golzar Collection exhibition.

How did you begin with collecting textiles?

I have always had a lifelong passion for collecting traditional Persian textiles from the past. I think it began with a gift from my Aunt Golzar of a very old silk brocade textile with a ragged lining. I was only a school girl then but I knew that objects like these were heirlooms that were handed down from generation to generation. I was very honored that my Aunt had entrusted this treasure with me and it sparked a lifelong desire to collect and preserve these precious and often delicate works of art.

10 ARTS & SCIENCES MAGAZINE

The intricate detail, elegant designs, and expensive gold embroidery on these pieces are indeed stunning but I think most modern Western audiences might be surprised to know how treasured these types of 18th and 19th century textiles were in their day. Can you provide a bit of historical background as to how these works became so valuable in Persian culture?

Textiles are not only an intricate part of the daily life of Persians as they are used for coverings, clothing, decorations and gifts. The great deal of effort and passion that epitomizes their creation also characterizes Persian life and these textiles become symbolic, intimate objects tied to the most significant moments in one’s life. They are, therefore, rooted in personal and familial memory and are shared between spouses, families, and friends as well as passed down through generations.

Garden of the Heart’s Desire is an interesting title.

Can you explain how you decided to give the exhibition this title?

Gardens are very important in Persian culture. They are physical space for social interaction as well as religious activities and scholarly contemplation. But gardens have historically been hard to maintain in Persia due to its arid climate. So, they require a good deal of devotion and cultivation which has, over time, given them a good deal of cultural significance. These earthly paradises containing running water, flowering plants, fruit trees, lush greenery, and singing birds are very important to Persian culture. Garden of

the Heart’s Desire explores these ideals as represented by the sumptuous tradition of Persian textiles, which like gardens, require meticulous craftsmanship and dedication. In addition, motifs from nature such as flowers, plants, songbirds, etc. show up often in these textiles, proving how important a thriving natural environment is in Persian society.

What are the criteria you use to determine what pieces to add to your collection?

I would say my criteria are that the pieces I collect are Persian and of great beauty and quality. In addition, I'm very interested in preserving this unique and quintessential Persian art form so, in many cases, I have rescued fragile textiles to save them for future generations to enjoy.

Where do you find most of the textiles you acquire?

I have found a good number of Persian textiles in Iran, certainly, but also have found them all over the world in the United States, Europe, Canada, and other countries. I have met many people over the years that share my interest in preserving and showcasing this disappearing art form. Thankfully, this network of individuals has led me to important pieces to acquire and is still doing so.

You said this is a "disappearing art form." Can you explain that?

Hundreds of years ago, Persian textiles were painstakingly created by hand by trained weavers and embroiderers who learned their art through passed-down instruction. This tradition has largely faded away with industrialization of textile industries throughout the world in the past century and a half. The type of time-consuming, highly-skilled artistry represented by the works in my collection is no longer abundant in Iran or, indeed, most places on the globe.

Which of the works on exhibit do you consider the most important and why?

This is a good question that allows me to express my thoughts and feelings about the pieces I have in my collection, including the ones in the exhibit. I view each piece as a unique entity with its own characteristic that stands out and gives a very

Mahin Ghanbari was born in Iran to a family with a long artistic background and tradition.

She holds an MFA degree in Ceramic Art from the University of Florida, and a B.Ph degree in Art from the College of Art and Architecture from PennsylvaniaState University. Mahin taught Ceramic Art at the University of Florida and several art centers for many years, and exhibited her work in numerous galleries and universities. She has been a lecturer, and presenter in national and international conferences.

Along with her teaching and studio work, Mahin has always had a keen interest in Persian woven arts, which started in her early youth. She started collecting unique and rare pieces of Persian Textiles (18th through early 20th century), along with researching their origin, age, function, and restoration. It has been her passion to collect these exquisite woven pieces of art. Her goal is to promote awareness of this little - known art by sharing it with others.

"I want to see the visitors leaving the exhibit with a happy feeling and excitement of being an extension of a glorious past where and when human beings did the seemingly impossible, and created a world better than before, and left it for the future generations to do the same." clear message. Strangely, I sometimes spread them all around the house and literally communicate with them, feel them, examine them, and try to understand their response to me.

I actually apologize to them when I feel I have not paid the attention they deserve. They are (like) my children. I love them each and all and I give them love each as I see fit, they are all important, and equally important. I hope the viewers of the exhibit share my feelings and observe them as each being unique and being its own entity; they all deserve that.

What are your plans for continuing to grow the collection? Any specific types of works you are most interested in finding?

Any interesting stories to recount regarding finding and acquiring certain pieces?

In closing, what is the most important thing you would like our visitors to take away from the experience of this exhibition?

Again, they all have very interesting stories, starting with my first �acquired� piece: GOLZAR. But what may interest your readers, is the story of finding, and acquiring a pair of Royal sashes. We were visiting Paris at the time, and learned about an Antique center in the outskirts.

After a long taxi ride, I entered heaven. At one booth, there was a Persian lady from Northern Iran who had lost her husband who had been an avid collector of Persian Art and Antiques.

Yes, she had the pair of Royal sashes that appeared to be late Safavid/ early Qajar period. She told me that Sotheby’s was interested in these and she expects them to show up in a couple of days. I told her that I am truly interested, and I am here. After long negotiations and convincing she agreed to sell them to me. I held them tight, all the way to the Hotel, and hand carried them all the way back home. They will be prominently displayed in the exhibit.

12 ARTS & SCIENCES MAGAZINE

I never planned to be a collector. I always felt that I am a Textile lover, and looked for opportunity to find what I love and acquire them to preserve and promote. I still follow my heart, and passion for preserving/promoting these unique art forms which are a window to the glory of the past.

I want to see the visitors leaving the exhibit with a happy feeling and excitement of being an extension of a glorious past where and when human beings did the seemingly impossible, and created a world better than before, and left it for the future generations to do the same. This should serve as an aspiration for all to join under the banner of humanity to create a better world perpetually.

In addition, the Art of textile, and textile art was dominated by women artists. As the visitors leave the exhibit, I would like for them to remember the resourcefulness, the ingenuity, and the creativity of these dedicated women that have created these masterpieces in the face of the inherent obstacles of the period.

THE LAW ISN’T THE ONLY THING WE HAVE A DEEP APPRECIATION FOR.

Cobb Cole is a proud supporter of the arts.

18 ARTS & SCIENCES MAGAZINE

Currently on Display in the Cici and Hyatt Brown Museum of Art "The Latest News from Florida": Wood Engravings from 19th Century Periodicals

A. WORLEY BROWN & FAMILY GALLERY Wood engravings from 19th century illustrated magazines and journals documenting events in the remote land of Florida - a state that few northerners knew a lot about or would ever visit. The works in this exhibit are grouped into three sections - "life", "industry", and "war". "Life" includes depictions of daily activities and amusements. "Industry" includes depictions of processes such as citrus growing and harvesting and preparing Spanish moss for commercial purposes. "War" includes depictions of the armaments, military activities, fortification structures, and naval events. These topics proved to be of interest to those who bought these publications. Featured Painting: Harper’s Weekly, Ft. Pickens 1861

Gone Fishin'

SENA H. AND THOMAS L. ZANE GALLERY This exhibition emphasizes Florida’s reputation for being one of the greatest sport fishing areas in the world. From locals with simple cane poles to celebrities on yachts decked out for challenging sailfish and tarpon. Photo Credit: Sam Stoltz, Strife of the Sea, Chicago Century of Progress Exposition, 1933-34

Florida Weather

FRANCE FAMILY GALLERY Experience a myriad of Florida weather in just one day. The Florida Weather gallery offers a look at Florida weather as represented by art. Florida is known for weather that changes with uncanny speed. Sun, rain, wind, clouds, storms, and fog all play a part in what the artist sees and wants to capture. The color, technique, rhythm, and texture are focused to evoke the full sensation of what is Florida's revealing environmental trait.Featured painting: Naomi Duckman (Furth); Storm on Seven Mile Bridge, Florida Keys, 1935

The Seminole and the Everglades

FRANCE FAMILY GALLERY The Everglades is a region of tropical wetlands that occupies the southern portion of Florida. Water leaving the vast, shallow Lake Okeechobee in the wet season forms a slow-moving river 60 miles wide and over 100 miles long. Human habitation in the southern portion of the Florida peninsula dates from 15,000 years ago. The region was dominated by the native Calusa and Tequesta tribes. After European colonization, both tribes declined. The Seminole nation emerged out of groups of Native Americans, mostly Creek, from what are now the northern Muscogee peoples. Artists from the early 19th century on have found the visual characteristics of the people and the land compelling subjects for artworks. The climatic conditions change frequently giving new dimensions of color, motion, and light to the landscape. The dramatic variables are a challenge to the painter attempting to capture a specific moment. The flora and fauna are often unique and fascinating. Rendering them is as often for scientific documentation as it is for the decorative motif. Featured painting: James F. Hutchinson; Seminole Man, 1992

Volusia County

The Volusia County gallery contains paintings with the county as the subject. Volusia County has encouraged both well-known and less-known artists to portray the environments and people from the county from the last quarter of the 19th century and on. Featured painting: James Calvert Smith; Stop the Train, ca. 1950

Gamble Place Clean-Up: Thank You to Our Volunteers!

T

he staff at the Museum of Arts & Sciences is always working to ensure that the Gamble Place property in Port Orange is properly maintained.

Consisting of over 175-acres, a historic home, a cottage, and a Citrus Packing House, consistent maintenance of the grounds as well as the buildings themselves truly takes a team effort. During large quarterly cleanups the Museum is always looking for volunteers to help assist.

For the first quarter of 2019, a cleanup day was arranged in February where we were joined by a team of volunteers from the Port Orange Target as well as Florida Landscaping and Design and Fowler Land Services. Landscapers by trade, the teams at Florida Landscaping and Design and Fowler Land Services came fully equipped with the tools and talents to help transform the Gamble Place property. Together, they mowed and cleared all of the land surrounding the historic houses and removed several large trees that were obstructing the entry way, parking lot, and dock. All together through their efforts they created a debris pile that totaled over 14,000 pounds in size! Using their

equipment, they were able to remove this from the property leaving us with a clean slate.

The volunteer team from the Port Orange Target cleared all of our trails and nature bridges that span the property and dug holes in all of the walking trails for posts with new “No Trespassing� signs. They also gave all of the houses a thorough cleaning and created a chain gate to prevent anyone from driving through the nature preserve.

Volunteers are integral to the work we do at the Museum of Arts & Sciences. Gamble Place in Port Orange is a beautiful location and we are so thankful for the donation of the time and talents that these three companies have provided us with.

Florida:

A Sportsman’s Paradise

Waldo Peirce with Ernest Hemingway Shark Fishing in the Tortugas, 1932, Waldo Peirce

O

nce Florida became a territory in 1821, the state’s reputation as a tourist paradise began to grow. At first, the territory was advertised to invalids seeking refuge from what was called the graveyard cough (tuberculosis). St. Augustine became a mecca for the ill, and in a way, the first tourist destination. As people from around the United States became familiar with the 27th state in the union, Florida began to be promoted for reasons other than just a warm place for invalids.

An obvious selling point was as a winter playground marketed to wealthy northern tourists as a chance to escape the long, dark, cold season. Railroads built by entrepreneurs like Henry Flagler and Henry Plant allowed wealthy northern tourists an easy and safe way to travel to the nation’s playground. Florida was marketed not just as a tourist destination, but as a paradise for the adventurer and the sportsman.

Florida has long enjoyed a reputation as one of the finest fishing locations in the world. It’s reputation as a sportsman’s paradise is unequaled. Even Ponce de Leon, one of Florida’s first tourists, as he searched for wealth untold, commented on the abundant fish, pumas, alligators, and other animals inhabiting the land.

Fishing has deep roots in Florida as demonstrated by the archaeological record. The first true Floridians, such as the Timucua and Tequesta Tribes, included fish as an important part of their staple diet. John James Audubon, while traveling through Florida in 1831, described how the immense amount of fish in the Halifax River impeded the progress of his boats. Audubon was a guest at the Bulow Plantation and was headed to Ponce Inlet, then known as Mosquito Inlet, to document and paint the Brown Pelican.

Once Florida became part of the United States, its reputation as a sportsman’s paradise exploded, especially for fishing. Getting there was part of the experience. Even before the coming of the railroads, northerners flocked to remote parts of Florida. The pre-Civil War Brock House Hotel, located on the east side of Lake Monroe, was the first northern style hotel catering to the avid tourist fishermen. During the winter season, the hotel became so crowded

Two famous sportsmen found their way to the Brock House Hotel and fell in love with the area. Frederick deBary and Henry DeLand invested heavily in the Volusia County area as a result of their fishing adventures on the St. John’s River. Their legacies live on in the two towns named after them.

hooks, hand lines, and spears. In 1885, a sensational catch by a rod and reel from Sanibel Island made international news and instantly designated southwest Florida as the epicenter of Tarpon fishing.

The Lakeside Inn in Mount Dora also served as a famous resort for sportsmen who had a passion for bass fishing. It is the oldest continually operated hotel in Florida. The Inn was founded in 1882 and originally was called The Lake House.

John Donnelly, a retired confederate officer, and other investors founded the hotel. It became such a popular destination that it was expanded to 87 rooms. It was not easy to travel to Mount Dora before the railroads were built. It was a twelve-day journey by boat and required several different steamships.

The new exhibit at the Cici and Hyatt Brown Museum of Art titled, Gone Fishin’, is a wonderful collection of paintings documenting every aspect of sport fishing in Florida. Fishing boats, shrimpers, docks, fish camps, and even one very famous fishermen and writer are displayed in this unique collection of paintings. One of the world’s most famous writers is also one of Florida’s most famous fishermen.

Earnest Hemingway is shown in the exhibit as the rugged avid sport fisherman. His love of fishing started as a young boy at his family’s summer house on Lake Walloon, Michigan. Upon the advice of a friend, he traveled to Key West and instantly fell in love with the old city.

The first fish to draw sportsman just for the sport of the catch was the mighty Tarpon. Men came from all over the world to fight the mighty jumping fish with rod and reel. Even before this, local fishermen hunted the Tarpon with

Hemingway loved to travel on deep sea fishing trips with his trusted friends that he referred to as “his mob”- artist Waldo Peirce, Charles Thompson, boyhood friend Bill Smith, and others. One trip to the Dry Tortugas, a famous spot for Ft. Jefferson, Dry Tortugas ca. 1950, Emile Albert Gruppé

Fishing Station, Sarasota, Fla. ca. 1960, Davd Davidovich Cherson shark fishing 70 miles west of Key West, they became stranded for thirteen days at the old Civil War fort on Garden Key known as Fort Jefferson. One painting depicting the quest for sharks at the Dry Tortugas is by his friend Waldo Peirce.

The watercolor titled, Waldo Peirce with Ernest Hemingway Shark Fishing in the Tortugas, 1932 shows Hemingway in the back of a small boat manning the oars on a rough sea. His companions capture the shark not with a rod and reel but with a comical-looking blunderbuss shotgun.

The whole scene is fairly cartoonish with lots of colors and high drama. Loosely painted, the mid ground is full of action with Hemingway and part of his “mob” struggling with the mighty beast as blood begins to fill the sea surrounding their craft.

A breathtaking impressionistic painting

by Emile Albert Gruppé titled, Ft. Jefferson, Dry Tortugas ca. 1950 is an oil on canvas. It shows a cabin cruiser parked at the dock of the old Fort Jefferson with the lighthouse in the background. Gruppe was known for his impressionistic landscapes. This painting shows just a section of the fort on a windswept day.

The artist used colors typical of a Florida tropical day with bright blues, whites, greens, and red for the bricks that make up the colossal fort.

When constructed in the mid-1850s, Fort Jefferson was the largest brick structure in the Western Hemisphere. It sits on the thirteen-acre Garden Key, one of the seven islands that makes up the Dry Tortugas.

It was designed to show American power 26 22 ARTS ARTS & & SCIENCES SCIENCES MAGAZINE MAGAZINE

and keep Europeans out of our sphere of influence. The colossal fort was never finished. Twenty-one million bricks were used in its construction. Fort Jefferson was designed to mount over 420 large cannons, although only 120 were ever mounted in the fort. It remained in Union hands for the entire Civil War and was used as a military prison. After the war, its most famous prisoner was Dr. Samuel Mudd, co-conspirator of Lincoln’s assassination. Created as a National Monument in 1935, it is the second least visited national park due to its remoteness.

James Calvert Smith was born in the small town of Micanopy, Florida in 1879.

He was a cartoonist for the Florida Times Union and a painter who was friends with Norman Rockwell. Smith also worked for Harper’s and Post Magazines, and his style was influenced by Rockwell while living in New York City. Perfecting his landscapes while living in Connecticut, he began receiving commissions for representational paintings. A large group of paintings depicting the Daytona Beach area are featured in the Cici and Hyatt Brown Collection. The watercolor on paper, He Couldn’t Have Done It If He Tried, ca. 1950, depicts a humorous scene on a fishing dock in Daytona Beach where a fisherman has snagged the back of the dress of a young woman fishing on the dock behind him. As he attempts to cast his line behind him and launch his rig into the ocean, the woman is caught off guard with a horrified look on her face as the hook lifts her dress into the air. Behind the scene is a typical pleasant Florida

The style of David Davidovich Cherson Burliuk is unique and impressive with a heavy thick painting style coupled with unblended strokes and the use of a palette knife. Using unusual color choices, he creates a bright style with less detail and his paintings reflect a folkart style. Burliuk was born in Russia in 1882 and was an avid modernist painter while working in Europe. Coming to America in 1922, he became a snowbird visiting Florida in the 1940’s and living in the Sarasota area. In the painting, Fishing Station, Sarasota, Fla. ca. 1960, he shows a crusty coastal fish camp that looks disheveled. A clothes line hangs in the center of the canvas while an old metal roof on the main building and a bait shack give the whole scene a rustic look. The painting shows a bait shack on the left foreground and squat looking people scurry about preparing for a day of fishing. There are many paintings belonging to Burliuk in the exhibit that depict a folksy style of fishing life on the west coast.

The Gone Fishin’ exhibit at the Cici and Hyatt Brown Museum of Art showcases a slice of Florida as a sportsman’s paradise. Tourists have flocked by the tens of millions over the years to fish in the endless mangrove swamps, saltwater marshes, rivers, lakes, and coastal fishing spots. Florida has a long history of fishing from prehistoric times to today. In fact, a record number of salt water fishing licenses where issued in 2018. With an ever-growing population, conservation work will need to be done in the state to keep its beauty and natural resources for future generations.

T

he holiday season offered a much needed (but all too brief!) breather from the very busy months invested in planning our several signature events. Truth be told, even during the holiday “break”, several Guild members spent a good deal of time working on our spring events. A devoted volunteer’s work is never done!

Our January meeting included a most enlightening program. Patricia Appleton, a Trustee on the Board of the Atlantic Center for the Arts, shared her research into the life and artistic works of the late Doris Leeper.

Most of the audience members knew of the famed Doris Leeper yet learned so many new fascinating anecdotes describing her significant contributions to the art community here and beyond. This program was a superb way to begin our new year!

On February 12, 2019, the Guild presented an excellent and distinctive fashion show to an impressed soldout crowd. The show was unique and memorable thanks to the creativity and skill of Eileen McDermott, who designed the event in every detail.

The show, “The Art of Travel”,

28 ARTS & SCIENCES MAGAZINE

showcased clothing which Eileen personally selected for each model.

She even secured sponsorship that covered the cost of the show so that there were no overhead costs!

Added features were the inclusion of a Master of Ceremonies, a role that local attorney and philanthropist Michael Politis filled with charm and finesse. An additional and very elegant feature were two ballroom dance performances by Artur Kozun of the Oceans Dance Studio and his dance partners, Christine Schneider Downs and Cami Kent. In addition to a sumptuous lunch, guests enjoyed bidding on lovely enticing gift baskets. Sincere thanks go to Eileen’s committee, our sponsor, our music provider, the models, and to Dillard’s for collaborating with us.

Based on preliminary analysis, this show may be the best fundraiser we have had in this category. A huge debt of gratitude is owed to Eileen McDermott!

This year’s annual Garden Party will include some unique features, with a focus on herbs, and will be held at the Cici and Hyatt Brown Museum of Art. Scheduled for April

9, guests may purchase herb gardens, flowering plants, and hand-painted flower pots. Guests will enjoy a delicious lunch, sipping a mint julep, and visiting the “Secret Garden” for special surprises.

No surprise to anyone, the Halifax Art Festival Committee has already begun meeting to plan and organize our nationally recognized and highly rated Art Festival. Kathy Wilson is the chair of the festival for this year.

She and her team will gratefully welcome you to come join in the joy of working on this very special event.

With Kathy’s leadership, in concert with her talented committee, there is no doubt that the Festival will be stellar.

As always, I encourage you to join the Guild and reap the benefits of working with fantastic people to stage excellent events with the goal of supporting our extraordinary museum.

THE MOAS GUIDE TO

TELESCOPES

BY SETH MAYO, Curator of Astronomy

If you have ever had a yearning to observe the universe up close with a telescope, this may be helpful in accomplishing those pursuits.

This guide is intended to give a comprehensive look at telescope use, design, purchasing, and setup.

Happy sky observing!!

WHAT IS A TELESCOPE?

A telescope is an optical device that collects and brings light to a focus to magnify a distant object.

Telescopes have many applications - from terrestrial viewing on the Earth’s surface to astronomical observation throughout the skies above.

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE TELESCOPE

The invention of the telescope is primarily credited to a Dutch eyeglass maker, Hans Lippershey, in 1608.

His optical device contained two glass lenses within a tube to magnify an object three times, eventually becoming known as a refractor.

Just a year later, Italian astronomer, Galileo Galilei, learned of this Dutch refracting telescope and built his own, improving on the original design. Galileo then became one of the first to point the telescope skyward to study the Moon’s surface, spots on the sun, and discovered Jupiter’s moons. His early observations of Jupiter’s moons in particular helped to solidify the heliocentric, or sun-centered, view of the solar system.

Six decades after the invention of the refractor, the reflecting telescope – primarily using mirrors instead of lenses – was devised by Isaac Newton. The reflector design became useful in building telescopes much larger in size with greater ease.

These early optical devices laid the groundwork for the telescopes that are found today.

ARTS & SCIENCES MAGAZINE 31

TELESCOPE DESIGNS THERE ARE THREE MAJOR CATEGORIES OF TELESCOPES THAT ARE FOUND TODAY: REFRACTOR, REFLECTOR, CATADIOPTRIC. EACH TYPE HAS VARIOUS SUBCLASS DESIGNS, ALL WITH VARYING ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES. BELOW ARE BASIC DESCRIPTIONS AND DIAGRAMS OF EACH CATEGORY:

REFRACTOR – uses an objective lens and an eyepiece to bring light to a focus within a long thin tube. Light enters the larger objective lens in the front, which then bends the light rays converging them to a point. The eyepiece has a lens within it and can be moved forward and back to bring the point of light into focus, making it clear to the viewer’s eye at the back of the telescope.

REFLECTOR – uses a series of mirrors to collect and bounce light to an eyepiece. A

parabolic mirror at the bottom of a tube collects light and reflects it back up to a small slanted mirror near the telescope opening. The slanted mirror – or secondary – then reflects the converging light rays to an eyepiece at the side of the telescope to be focused for the viewer’s eye.

CATADIOPTRIC (CASSEGRAIN/ COMPOUND) – this design bounces and folds

light to a focus and is mostly related to a reflector but incorporates a lens element like a refractor. Light enters the top of the tube and passes through a thin correcting lens, or plate, that helps to cut down on aberrations (light errors) that occur when using spherical mirrors. The light then hits this spherical mirror at the bottom of the tube and reflects it back to a secondary attached to the corrector plate. The secondary mirror then reflects the focused light back toward the primary mirror which has a hole through the center.

The light makes its way through that opening and into an eyepiece for the viewer to look through.

40 ARTS & SCIENCES MAGAZINE 32

WHAT TYPE OF TELESCOPE SHOULD I GET? Before purchasing a telescope, make sure to have a basic knowledge of the sky. This can be accomplished through naked-eye viewing with the aid of a star chart or one of many stargazing apps available for smart phones and tablets. In conjunction with naked-eye observing, binoculars are a great tool for viewing the night sky. They provide a nice widefield view that telescopes cannot offer due to their narrow fields, and binoculars are more common in the household.

Any binoculars can be used, but specific astronomical binoculars can be purchased that are relatively affordable and easy to use.

Finding the right telescope combination can be a challenge and is dependent upon many factors: skill level, portability, types of observing, cost. Below is a general list of advantages and disadvantages of each telescope and mount design, and factors to consider when making purchasing decisions.

REFRACTOR

These types of telescopes are the first that many people think of when looking through options for buying. For the most part, refractors are usually the simplest in design and use, and can provide a good first step in the world of sky observing.

Disadvantages Advantages • Most have small apertures, or light gathering area • Easier to setup and maintain • Great for terrestrial (on Earth’s surface), lunar, and • Deep sky objects like nebulae and galaxies are a bit dimmer planetary viewing • Sealed tube prevents distortion from turbulent air • Can be prone to color aberrations, or light errors, that can cause discoloration of certain objects currents and dust inside • Can get expensive quickly for large apertures and designs • Beginner designs are relatively inexpensive that limit aberration

REFLECTOR

Mirrored telescopes of this design may not get as much recognition as refractors, although they are just as common (even more so now with large observatories) and useful.

Reflectors can be considered by both beginners and advanced users depending on the type of setup chosen Advantages • Many more options with large apertures • Great for deep sky objects like nebulae, galaxies, and star clusters • Less optical aberrations • Less expensive for large aperture sizes • Dew does not build up as much on primary mirror during long observing sessions

Disadvantages • Open air design of many tubes can introduce turbulent air flow and dust • Some designs can be quite large and less portable • Not as useful for terrestrial viewing since objects will be upside down • Requires occasional cleaning and realignment of mirrors

CATADIOPTRICS

These types of telescopes are usually thought of for advanced users but can be setup by beginners as well.

Advantages • Large apertures can be condensed to shorter tubes due to folding of light path – better portability • Sealed tube prevents distortion from turbulent air currents and dust inside • Durable, and requires little maintenance • Can be useful for both terrestrial and astronomical viewing • Slightly less aberration due to mirror and lens combination

Disadvantages • Much more expensive, especially for large apertures • Some light loss due to the secondary mirror placement • Primary mirror will have to very occasionally be realigned • Dew buildup can occur a little easier on the corrector plate during long observing sessions

WHAT TYPE OF TELESCOPE SHOULD I GET? PURCHASING TIPS AND ADVICE Avoid purchasing cheap telescopes from big box stores that primarily advertise high magnification. These telescopes will most likely break easily and will not provide high quality optics and observing.

Be prepared to spend at least $100 or more for a decent setup.

Aperture, or light gathering area, is one of the most important factors to consider. Bigger is better for telescopes.

Most purchases are made online since brick-and-mortar stores that sell telescopes are not very common in most areas.

Major companies to consider (*not an endorsement for any particular manufacturer): Meade, Celestron, Orion, Explore Scientific, Astro-Tech, Coronado (solar), Lunt (solar).

High quality eyepieces are just as important as a high-quality telescope. One or two eyepieces will suffice for the casual or beginner user, but a few more will be useful for the experienced user.

The standard eyepiece diameter is 1.25 inches. There are some 2-inch options on the market but are not as common and much more expensive.

Consider investing in a Moon filter. These act like little “sunglasses” for eyepieces when looking at the Moon in very large phases. When the Moon is very bright, it can be a little uncomfortable to view for long periods of time. The Moon filter will not only make it more comfortable to look at, but also provide a bit more contrast. Moon filters screw onto the back of most eyepieces.

MOUNTS All telescopes, or optical tube assembly’s (OTA), must have some type of mount to be placed on. Mounts allow the OTA to be pointed and maneuvered to different directions, and depending on the design, can be used to track certain objects in the night sky. Each type of mount listed below can be used for all the OTAs listed above, depending on the configuration chosen.

ALTITUDE-AZIMUTH, OR “ALT-AZ” MOUNTS, are simply a point-and-shoot type of setup.

They can be maneuvered up-and-down (attitude) or swiveled left or right (azimuth) to point to certain objects.

These work the same as a standard camera tripod and can be a bit heftier for telescopes since they need to hold more weight and be stable enough to limit vibrations.

Manual alt-az mounts are better for low magnification views of the sky since they are not able to track the objects due to Earth’s rotation.

They are commonly found on beginner telescopes, are easiest to setup, and the least expensive. *A subset of alt-az mounts is called a Dobsonian. These mounts act just like an alt-az but are designed to hold very large reflectors.

Dobsonians have a very simple design, and there are many homebuilt versions to choose from if a DIY setup is of interest. They are cost effective and can provide the most bang-for-your-buck when it comes to having a large aperture telescope.

EQUATORIAL MOUNTS are a bit more complicated to setup and have one axis aligned with the Earth’s axis. This means that the mount can keep the telescope oriented around the rotational axis of Earth, tracking more distant objects easily through the night. With manual equatorial mounts, a knob attached to the equatorial (right ascension) axis can be turned every so often to keep an object centered in the telescope.

Some versions come with a simple motorized drive that spins the scope at the correct rate to compensate for Earth’s rotation, keeping the target in place continually. These types of mounts take more time and skill to setup since certain types need to be balanced with counterweights and must be aligned with the polar region of the night sky.

COMPUTERIZED, OR “GO-TO”, MOUNTS can be used on both alt-az and equatorial setups. They consist of motors attached to computers that can track all types of objects in the sky. Computerized mounts typically have a database of objects programmed in that allow the user to choose them, and the system will automatically drive to that target once selected. Some of these mounts can also be attached to separate computers for higher level tracking and automation and are commonly needed for long duration astrophotography. Computerized mounts still need some setup, and usually need to be aligned with various stars in the sky to enable the tracking features. These types of setups are more expensive and should be relegated to intermediate and advanced users.

TELESCOPE SETUP AND USE With a basic understanding of the various types of telescopes and factors to consider when purchasing, actually setting one up and observing objects in the sky is the next step. Here is a very general list of procedures to follow that can help make this endeavor a success: *These procedures can differ slightly depending on the telescope configuration used.

SETUP

1. Choose a location – Be sure to find a suitable place to setup the telescope that is fairly level with a clear weather forecast. An open space with less obstructions near the horizon is ideal. A darker sky is also preferable, but not a show stopper if bright targets are being observed (e.g., Moon and planets).

2. Setup the mount – The mount is usually the first thing to be placed on the ground. If tracking is involved, then the mount will need to be leveled. Most telescopes will come with a level if this is needed, or a simple household bubble level will work. For setups with tripods, each leg can move in and out to adjust for height and will have knobs for tightening.

3. Attach the OTA – Once the mount is in the intended place, the optical tube assembly can be attached if it is not already so.

4. Secure the finder scope – If not already attached, the finder scope should be secured to the OTA. Finder scopes commonly need to be aligned with the main telescope to operate correctly. To make sure of proper alignment, attach an eyepiece to the OTA and point the entire telescope toward a fixed object on the ground a fair distance away (a distant street/house light works well) and lock the telescope in its place so the object chosen is centered in the main eyepiece. Look through the finder scope and note if the object centered in the eyepiece is also centered in the finder scope. If not, then most finder scopes will have small adjustment knobs/ dials that can be turned to align with the main eyepiece.

5. Telescope alignment (if needed) – If using an equatorial mount, then one axis needs to be aligned with the celestial pole in the sky. If in the Figure 1 northern hemisphere, this point is known as the North Star, or Polaris (see figure 1) Some computerized mounts will either need to be oriented to the celestial pole or placed in some type of Aperture – opening diameter of the OTA “home” position (refer to the manufacturer’s manual).

Eyepiece – the lens used to magnify the view 6. Final setup – Before starting an observing session, make sure Eyepiece Holder – holds multiple eyepieces while observing any other small items need to be completed – OTA cover removed, Finder Scope – a low magnification scope used to locate targets dew shield attached (if supplied), attach power if needed, Focuser – adjusts the focus for a clear image eyepieces are readily available, etc.

Mount – supports and orients the OTA 7. Begin observing – Have fun viewing the universe.

PARTS OF A TELESCOPE

• Make sure to read the instruction manual thoroughly during setup and use. If problems arise, there are many YouTube videos that may help with any problems or confusions for a specific telescope or type. There are also many telescope forums online that can be consulted.

• Use a star chart or stargazing app on a smartphone to locate interesting objects in the night sky.

• If multiple eyepieces are being used, find the right size for the object being observed.

The number on the eyepiece (typically 40 or less in millimeters) is its focal length and will help to indicate its magnification. The smaller the number, the higher the magnification. To determine magnification, take the telescope focal length (usually found on the OTA or the manual) and divide by the eyepiece focal length. (Example: 1000 mm telescope focal length/20 mm eyepiece focal length = 50 times magnification, or 50x).

Higher magnifications offer interesting close up views but sacrifice the clarity of the object since it will also magnify the atmospheric distortion above. Low magnification will offer clearer images with a much wider field.

• If looking to do astrophotography, there are special adapters that attach to the OTA for DSLR cameras and even smartphones that are available by various manufacturers. Long exposure astrophotography requires a motorized drive or “go-to” computerized mount.

• Allow eyes at least 10 to 15 minutes to get dark-adapted before the observing sessions begins. Use a red flashlight around the telescope when observing at night. Red light does not interfere with dark-adapted eyes.

• Have bug spray or long-sleeved clothes handy as protection from mosquitoes and other critters that may be present.

• Dress like it is about 10 to 15 degrees cooler since standing around for long periods of time while observing can cool the body down. *Never point a telescope at the sun or any other extremely bright artificial light source.

Without proper equipment and protection, looking at the sun through a telescope can damage eyes instantly. To observe the sun safely through a telescope, please consult a professional or install an approved solar filter from a reputable company. Solar telescopes built specifically to observe the sun safely are also available from certain manufacturers.
