Footloose Astronomer in Europe: On the Trail of Telescope History

Speaker: Dr. Phil Kelton

Dr. Kelton has been fortunate to travel extensively in Europe and discovered that astrotourism is an excellent way to supplement the more common aspects of travel.  In this talk he traces a significant subset of the history of telescope development based on his travels in Europe, and touches upon other aspects of astronomy history that he has been able to experience first hand.  Dr. Kelton has  organized this talk chronologically from the 16th to the 20 century based on his visits to a dozen locations which are astronomically important.  He will end with a surprise visit to a very interesting astronomy history site in the USA.
