Okay the tiny url one works. I see its not the telescope he discovered Pluto with but one he developed in later years when he was involved with the White Sands Testing ground and tracking launches. I have no info on this. Looks like around about a 12-inch primary so was probably an 8-inch schmidt. Scratching my bald head I recall now that he was involved in a search for natural satellites of the earth-now that I recall that this is the publication I have but I dont recall seeing a picture of the telescope used but there were some sample images taken. Talking about searches for natural earth satellites brings up a chap called Bagby who claimed to have found some. He provided orbital elements- which I tried out- but saw nothing. I think its now generally accepted that it was all a bit of fiction. I have no idea where this publication is at the moment but Im sure I still have it -recall it had a mathematical expression in it to calculate the angular velocity of an object in earth orbit. Was about 50-70 pages long. Ill keep an eye open for it over the next few days -one or two places where it might be buried.
