Kevin,

Yes I did see something similar.

I use Atik 460 mono.

What camera are you using ?

[Mr Jack Martin]

I saw the movie, what a character, nothing short of brilliant.

Australia,

Definitely worthy of further research.

If Theodore was born in 1616, what was the life expectancy, when did he die, where is he buried, in a Church in Holborn possibly.   

The links to Francis Godwin and Jonathan Swift are intriguing.

Thanks for your efforts,

Australia,

Seems there was a 5th (first) child born 3 years after they were married, unusual as children are usually born soon after marriage.

Blethyn’s telescope is signed ‘Theodorus Blethyn fecit’, so that’s how he spelt his surname.  

What is IGI ?

Thank you for all the information you have provided.

I have searched for the name Philemon in the index, can’t see an entry, perhaps I’ve missed something !

Alan,

Looks like a good match.

I suspect he was buried in London.

[Mr Jack Martin]

Alan,

You are not getting in my way.

This information was previously unknown.

Thanks for your efforts.

Alan,

Doubtful, Blethyn’s telescopes date from around 1650.

Where did you get this information from ?

Its possible he was a relative of John Bleyghton a mathematical instrument maker in London around 1624-54. He was succeeded by his son John II. They also signed with the names Blaton – Blyton – Blighton.  

Thanks for your efforts.

Roy,

I discovered this telescope on a visit to Knebworth House in July 2019.

This is no 3 of only 2 other known Blethyn telescopes in the World.

Its been on display for decades unnoticed!

I am writing a short article about it for the Antique Telescope Society.

Probably from the same parent body.

Nice spectra.

Ray,

I don’t think Alain Ducasse, Gordon Ramsay, Jamie Oliver, Heston Blumenthal, Rachael Ray, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Paul Hollywood, Anne-Sophie Pic, Clare Smyth, Lisa Goodwin-Allen, Emma Bengtsson, Ainsley Harriot, John Trode, Marcus Wareing, some of whom are Michelin star chefs would agree with your comments, me included.

David,

Just a bit of fun and its different, thanks for including in E&T News.

[Mr Jack Martin]

Some thoughts:

The planets in our solar system all come from the same building blocks.

Bacterial life in Venusian atmosphere is a theory, but Anding’s comment is plausible.

Or, have they discovered some unknown chemistry ?

Spectroscopy was the tool used to make the discovery !
