Greg's putting together a few pages about the Digges telescope. You can see a preview (still "under construction") at http://www.orpington-astronomy.org.uk/digges.html

looking good. It'd be great to see this research become more common knowledge. It'd be a shame for it to disappear into a dusty archive.

Mike

Yes I agree. I shall get in touch with Astronomy Now to see if they want to do an article on it or maybe feature the society in the society spotlight section.

Might be an idea to ask Gilbert first, as he may have other plans for publication.

Mike

OK i'll do nothing till someone speaks to Gilbert.

I will speak to Gilbert about the article if you would like, Mike, when he gets back from his hols. I thinks its a good idea.

Greg

I have just realised my last entry was Annonymous!! I will speak to Gilbert when he gets back from his hols.

Rick

I think we guessed who was behind it... :wink:

Anything more on those web pages yet?

Hello, found this topic/thread searching on Google for the Digges etc... Is it to be linked to from your main site - it's all very interesting!
Bye for now.

Rick

There may be something on Greg's site... (...and if I could remember where that was I'd link it...)

Thanks, but can't see anything Digges, just The Big Dig...

Bit of a mix up I think, The Digges telescope link is http://www.orpington-astronomy.org.uk/digges.html the other URL http://homepage.ntlworld.com/greg.smyerumsby/craig/index.html is for the Craig Telescope, of which the foundations were excavated as part of the Big Dig.
