  National Park Service: Astronomy and Astrophysics (Lick Crossley 36-inch Reflector)
The Crossley 36-inch reflector is found a few hundred yards southwest of the Main Observatory Building of the Lick Observatory and is still in use as an operational scientific instrument for the study of the stars and galaxies.
The Crossley 36-inch reflector at the Lick Observatory was the first of a long line of metal-film-on-glass modern reflecting telescopes that have dominated major astronomical advances for the past century.
Once the Crossley was in operation on Mount Hamiliton, the future path of astronomical research in the 20th century, based on large reflecting telescopes, was determined.

Crossley built a new dome enclosure to protect the telescope and observers from the harsh Halifax (UK) weather, but this climate was far from ideal for observation.
Keeler’s photos with the Crossley reflector not only proved that nebulae were common phenomena, but also illustrated a variety of types of "nebulae," some of which were spiral galaxies filled with billions of stars, rather than a single local object.
The 36-inch Crossley reflector was used for observation extensively before the 120-inch Shane reflector was built on Mt. Hamilton in 1959.

The Crossley 0.9m Reflecting Telescope (1898), Lick Observatory, Mt. Hamilton, CA The Crossley Telescope at the University of California's Lick Observatory is an f/5.8 reflector and the first large (0.9-meter) modern reflector (metal-on-glass) ever built.
Sold then to Edward Crossley, who donated it to Lick Observatory, it was brought to California in 1895 with the assistance of donors like Wells Fargo (banking), Levi Strauss (clothing), Crocker (banking) and Mills (banking).
Spectra of these nebulas taken using the Crossley by Heber Curtis in the decade before 1920 revealed that they showed stellar characteristics (continuum with absorption lines) rather than nebular characteristics (emission lines), essentially demonstrating that they were made up of stars and very far away as opposed to being nearby forming solar systems.

Edward Crossley bought a 9 inch in 1895, to replace his 9.3 inch objective in the Cooke telescope he purchased in 1867.
Taylor continues, that sulphuric acid treatment was successful, the lens retained it's polish during the treatment, and only in areas like Calcutta has the crystallization mandated a repolishing.
Crossley's 9 inch objective, from 1895, was moved to New Zealand in 1907, and is now at Carter Observatory.

 The Discovery of the Horsehead Nebula
In the years 1898 through 1900, the young new director of Lick Observatory, James E. Keeler, modified and improved the old Crossley 36-inch reflecting telescope, built in 1879 by a British amateur astronomer named A. Common and donated by its owner Edward Crossley to the Observatory in 1895.
The brighter star images are somewhat distorted in a Crossley photograph, due to reflections from the internal supporting structures, but the original large-scale 1918 plate of the Horsehead demonstrates a definite advance over Barnard's enlarged 1913 picture in depicting the sharp outline and rim of faint light around the "horse's head".
The scale of the original 1920 negative was several times greater than the plate used in the Crossley, and the almost eightfold increase in light-gathering area of the larger telescope's mirror enabled subtleties in the nebulosity of IC-434 and the 'trunk' of the Horsehead cloud to be registered as never before.
