	Lowell, Percival (1855-1916)
		Lowell countered by arguing that large telescopes were ill-suited to planetary observation and, in any case, much depended on the seeing conditions which, he asserted, at Flagstaff were among the best available.
		Lowell claimed that the canals only appeared to him from time to time – rare and precious visions – when the seeing was excellent.
		But Lowell would have none of it and pressed on, single-mindedly, in his pursuit of proof that the network of waterways was both real and intelligently constructed.
