Dunlop in Spring
The following 24 Dunlop objects are visible in Spring.
Dunlop saw, and in most cases found, these with a 9" reflector in 1826 from his backyard in Parramatta.
His 9" was equivalent to a modern 6.5" Newtonian.
The brightest and best objects in the southern sky were found by Lacaille, James Dunlop and John Herschel.
