arXiv:2210.12876

Abstract

An unambiguous accordance between an objective lens for Ayscough's telescope 'Adapted to Use at Sea' and another compound lens which was described by William Eastland in well-known Quere during the trial in October of 1765 was revealed. Preliminary analysis of small fragments of Quere from Eastland', Stedman' and Champneys' testimonies was carried.
