1936 Markree Refractor

In 1936, the great Markree Refractor was installed at the Jesuit Seminary in Aberdeen. Further information in the Hong Kong Telegaph dated 11 July 1936 here and at https://gwulo.com/atom/25123

The telescope has an interesting connection to the Observatory's first Director, Dr. W. Doberck who had previously worked at the Makree Observatory, in Sligo, Ireland. A photo of Doberck using the refractor at Markree Observatory in the late 1870s here
