THE (RE)DISCOVERY OF THE ASTROGRAPH<br />
At my first HAAS meeting at the SHSU observatory in 2006, Mike showed me the astrograph sitting unused <strong>an</strong>d forgotten in one<br />
corner of the teaching classroom at the observatory. I was appalled at the callous treatment of this rare <strong>classic</strong> – missing parts,<br />
dust <strong>an</strong>d gunk all over, <strong>an</strong>d m<strong>old</strong> infestation throughout – c’mon, I realize government research gr<strong>an</strong>t money bought this<br />
equipment, but shouldn’t it be in better shape, like maybe getting used in the teaching programs or as a research tool?
