Third Melbourne General Catalogue of 3068 Stars for the Equinox 1890, From Observations Made at Melbourne Observatory During the Period 1884; 7 to 1894; 0 (Classic Reprint) by R. L. J. Ellery Pdf
Excerpt from Third Melbourne General Catalogue of 3068 Stars for the Equinox 1890, From Observations Made at Melbourne Observatory During the Period 1884; 7 to 1894; 0 The ms. Of this catalogue was prepared fifteen years ago. The reason for its long delayed publication is that, since 1889, and until recently, the Government of Victoria found it inexpedient to authorize the printing of any astronomical work of the Melbourne Observatory. It was intended, in accordance with previous practice, to publish at the proper time, the annual catalogues of the stars observed in the years 1884 - 1894, the mss. Of which had been regularly prepared for the purpose, in continuation of the series of volumes entitled Melbourne Results of Astronomical Observations, which contain, among other records, all our Annual Star Catalogues to the end of 1883 but, for the reason stated above, no further volumes were added to this series after the issue, in 1889, of Volume VII., and, under the circumstances, it seemed desirable to give precedence to the publication of the Third General Catalogue.
