	Overview of the Observatory
		The child of a wealthy merchant of Finnish descent and a German mother, Argelander became one of Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel's "most outstanding students." In 1823 Bessel's recommendation helped the 24-year old Argelander to become an observator at the newly established observatory in Turku, southwestern Finland.
		In l828 Argelander was promoted to professor of astronomy at the university and given the task of building an observatory.
		Argelander's work in Helsinki ended in 1837 when he was offered a professorship at Bonn University in his native Prussia.

		It would be easy to overlook Argelander's star atlas; at first glance, it seems to resemble the semi-professional or popular atlases that surround it in the exhibition case.
		In fact, it is something quite new and different; it is, quite explicitly, a New Uranometria, with Bayer's same intention of identifying and positioning all the naked-eye stars, but with the benefit of two hundred additional years of stellar astronomy.
		Each Argelander chart has faint constellation figures, and interestingly, these are copies of the original figures used by Bayer, as we can see by comparing this plate with Bayer's plate of Gemini.

	Gliese 710
		Many astronomers now refer to this star as Gliese 710 by its designation in the famous Gliese Catalogue of Nearby Stars (CNS, now ARICNS database) of Wilhelm Gliese (1915-93), who was a longtime astronomer at the Astronomiches Rechen-Institut at Heidelberg (even when it was at Berlin).
		The star was first designated as BD-01 3474 in a catalogue that was originally published in 1863 by Friedrich Wilhelm August Argelander (1799-1875) on the position and brightness of 324,198 stars between +90° and -2° declination that were measured over 11 years from Bonn, Germany with his assistants Eduard Schönfeld (1828-1891) and Aldalbert Krüger (1832-1896).
		The catalogue became famous as the Bonner Durchmusterung ("Bonn Survey") and is typically abbreviated as BD.

		When a fire completely destroyed the city of Turku but, "thank the Lord, left the observatory untouched" in 1827, the task of building a new observatory in Helsinki, the infant capital of Finland, was confided to Friedrich Wilhelm August Argelander, an astronomer of Finnish-German descent.
		The building was completed in 1834, and only a few years later Argelander accepted a professorship at the University of Bonn in his native Prussia.
		One of the more significant projects, commenced in 1891 and lasting until the 1920's, was the compilation of a photographic star catalogue of the whole sky.
