Nevil Maskelyne - New Scientist article
An article on Britain's Astronomer Royal from 1765 to 1811, Nevil Maskelyne, appeared in a recent New Scientist. It's attached here in black & white for your interest.

Maybe his freezer suit will make a comeback!

That was a very interesting read Niko. His observing suit sounds like a classic.
