		The astronomer Johann Palisa was born on December 6, 1948 in Troppau, Silesia (now Opava, Czech Republic) and died on May 2, 1925 in Vienna, Austria.
		After discovering 27 more objects in Pola, Palisa was offered a position in Vienna where he had the new large refractor (at that time the largest telescope in the world) at his disposal.
		Palisa briefly was an assistant astronomer at the observatories in Vienna and Geneva before being appointed director (1871 or 1872-80) of the observatory at Pola, a position that carried with it the rank of commander.

		En 1872, con solo 24 años de edad, Palisa marchó a Pula en la península balcánica sobre el mar Adriático en calidad de Director del Observatorio Naval (el puerto de Pola, como entonces se llamaba, fue base de la Armada del Imperio Austro-Húngaro hasta fines de la Primera Guerra Mundial).
		En 1910, Palisa publicó además su "Sternenlexikon", un catálogo de estrella entre -1° y +19° de declinación.

		Johann Palisa (1848-1925) became the director of the observatory in 1871 or 1872 and held that post until 1880, a position that carried with it the rank of commander.
		Although his working telescope was, at 6 inches of diameter, not any more powerful than the telescope in Vienna, the observing conditions were considerably better.
		During his tenure in Pola, Palisa discovered a total of 28 objects, including the asteroids Polana, Adria and Istria.

		Palisa was using the observatory¹s prize 68-cm (27-inch) telescope when he discovered the new minor planet on Oct. 3, 1911.
		That was the last direct observation anyone had of 719 Albert, named for a baron who had donated generously to the Vienna Observatory.

		One of the observers is Jim Scotti, a part-time research student at the Armagh Observatory.
		The asteroid was originally found by the Austrian astronomer Johann Palisa on 3 October 1911 and was named (719) Albert, after Albert Freiherr von Rothschild, a benefactor of the Vienna Observatory.
		However, due to a full Moon and a period of persistent bad weather, the object was soon lost.

	Introduction
		The Johann Palisa Observatory and Planetarium of Technical University in Ostrava is situated at the west end of the city of Ostrava, which is the third largest city in Czech Republic.
		The main mission of this institution is to popularise astronomy (through programmes in the planetarium and public observations at the observatory), but also some scientific observations are done (mostly at the level of amateur astronomy).
		We also started to observe selected excentric eclipsing binaries from observing programme of dr. M.

		The brighter of the stars is just outside of the nominal field diameter, but is nevertheless found on the sky where Stone placed it on the sketch.
		This clearly identifies his nebula as the same one that Johann Palisa found and measured accurately seven years later in September of 1893.
		Even though Palisa did not have a precise position for his comparison star, the position he published is quite accurate.

		It was the fifth asteroid discovered in North America (others had been found by Ferguson and Searle).
		Feronia was the first of forty-eight such discoveries that made Peters the most prolific finder of minor planets of his generation, and even today he remains second only to Johann Palisa among visual discoverers of asteroids.
		During his colorful career, he also compiled meticulous star charts of the zodiac, collated observations from manuscripts of Ptolemy, and embroiled himself in a series of often bitter controversies with other astronomers, notably over the existence of an intra-Mercurial planet.
