@CoilinPars Museums Victoria ESAWebb NASA Webb Telescope Thanks for the shout out Cóilín! It was Joseph Turner who saw it through the Great Melbourne Telescope & drew it. Here’s the link to our catalogue record collections.museumsvictoria.com.au/items/1403329
In the photo the Great Melb Telescope built in 1868 by Thomas Grubb, as big as the "Galileo" of Asiago but almost twice as old, it was at the time the second largest telescope in the world after the Leviathan of Parsonstown.

In foto il Great Melb Telescope costruito nel 1868 da Thomas Grubb, grande quanto il telescopio “Galileo” di Asiago ma con quasi il doppio degli anni, all’epoca era il secondo telescopio più grande al mondo dopo il Leviatano di Parsonstown.

Note the difference in the Polar Axis angle between Dublin & Melbourne.
