Merz Triplet Telescope anno 1895

"The Restauration of a 1895 Merz triplet Telescope for astrofotography.

The name “Merz” is related to one of the most important scientists and optic masters of the 19th century, Joseph von Fraunhofer. At the age of eleven years old, both his parents had died. And the young orphan had to work for his living in an optic workshop. He was exploited there and was not allowed to attend school."#AntiqueScientific#Antique
