It's OK Chris, I googled it and went in that way, thanks
James Oddie is a bit of a legend around here.
He built the Ballarat Observatory, owned a shop just just down the road here, and his Family is still here in Snake Valley.
His Grandson Neville is a friend of mine and fellow CFA member.
Another Oddie Refractor is still housed and in use at the Ballarat Observatory.
I was trying to get information about James Oddie from Neville one day, but his comment was, "oh yeah, I think Grandpa had something to do with a telescope or something, I don't know, nor do I really care"
