	History of Telescopes (Astronomy) - Birr Castle Demesne
		During the 1840's and starting from virtually first principles, the third Earl of Rosse designed and had built the mirrors, tube and mountings for a 72 inch reflecting telescope which was the largest in the world at that time and remained so for three quarters of a century.
		He was the eldest of three sons, all of whom were educated at home in Birr by private tutors rather than being sent to public schools in England.
		Despite this telescope being "home-built" (the mirror was cast in the grounds of Birr Castle) two contemporary expert observers confirmed it's quality and performance, which allowed significantly increased resolution of stellar objects, one of them (Dr. Thomas Robinson of the Armagh Observatory) calling it the most powerful instrument of it's time.
