Description
An account of the resource
For most of human history, our eyes served as the recording device for our observations of the night sky. Later, developments in photography began to change how we viewed and documented astronomical observations. The instrument collection consists of auxiliary instruments used on the 12-inch equatorial refractor. Some of the instruments such as the filar micrometer and spectroscope were designed for use with human eye as the detector, others such as the plate camera used film.

Photometer
Description
An account of the resource
Wood, brass, glass
Wooden box with hinged lid, barlow adapter, brass ring. Box measures 30” x 9” x 9”. The photometer is 24” long.
The visual photometer utilizes the polarizing properties of doubly-refracting crystals to measure stellar magnitudes. It is used on double stars where one of the stars has a known magnitude.
“The polarizing photometer used in these observations was constructed by Alvan Clark & Sons. It is of the form devised by Professor Pickering and described by him in Annals of Harvard College Observatory, Vol.11, page 4, where it is designated as ‘Photometer H’. A Wollaston prism forms two images of each star, and these images are varied in intensity by rotating a Nichol placed between the eye and the eyepiece. . . This instrument is capable of extremely accurate results, bit its use is limited to those stars which are closer than about 100”"
Used by Stebbins to observe double stars in 1904-06 and Delta Cephei in 1907 leading to pioneering work by on measuring brightness using electricity making visual photometry obsolete. After Stebbins left in 1922 with the photoelectric photometer, C.C. Wylie resumed using the visual photometer to study WW Aurigae and Delta Cephei. It was used in the 1950s and early 1960s for instruction after a cleaning by J.W. Fecker in 1954. In 1957 Robert Tull and in 1961 Robert Roeder prepared instructions on the photometer’s use.

Sextants and accessories
Description
An account of the resource
The "old astronomy" was dominated by the precise measurement of the positions of the stars and the determination of time. At Illinois, astronomy was first taught as part of the Civil Engineering department helping to develop the engineers' surveying skills. Specialized telescopes and procedures were developed for this purpose. As the "new astronomy" of astrophysics began to develop, positional astronomy was taught less and less. The one exception was the need for navigation by military ships and airplanes. In 1918 a Navigation course was offered for air service men. The course continued after WWI and was advertised as a course of interest to engineers and those thinking of working on merchant ships. This collection consists of sextants and other accessories such as artificial horizons that were used in positional astronomy, surveying, and navigation.

Box is 9 5/8” x 9 5/8” x 5 ¼” with hinge top, two latches, lock, marked “obs 14,” with metal handle.
Acquired in exchange for small Fauth chronograph. Saegmuller joined Bausch and Lomb. In 1905, the company included all three names until 1907.
The artificial horizon:
Wood, metal, glass
In the Astronomy department is the box with the cover, marked Fauth & Co. Box is 8 3/8” x 6 ¼” x 5 ¾”, dove tails visible, 2 hook latches, exterior university id tag plus paper label #6 .. Both the tray and bottle are corroded. Wind shield is greenish metal and glass. A
The artificial horizon was used with sextant to determine the altitude of objects when the true horizon was not visible. They most commonly consist of a trough, bottle with mercury, and a wind shield consisting of two panes of glass at right angles to the observer’s line of sight. It was used by viewing the sun or star directly and then again in the reflection of the mercury surface. You would then have two measurements can could divide by two. In the Saegmuller catalog (page 63) it cost $30.

Description
An account of the resource
The "old astronomy" was dominated by the precise measurement of the positions of the stars and the determination of time. At Illinois, astronomy was first taught as part of the Civil Engineering department helping to develop the engineers' surveying skills. Specialized telescopes and procedures were developed for this purpose. As the "new astronomy" of astrophysics began to develop, positional astronomy was taught less and less. The one exception was the need for navigation by military ships and airplanes. In 1918 a Navigation course was offered for air service men. The course continued after WWI and was advertised as a course of interest to engineers and those thinking of working on merchant ships. This collection consists of sextants and other accessories such as artificial horizons that were used in positional astronomy, surveying, and navigation.
