However, several telescope manufacturers have recently developed telescope systems that are calibrated with the use of built-in GPS, decreasing the time it takes to set up a telescope at the start of an observing session.

In 1911, Carnegie became a sympathetic benefactor to George Ellery Hale, who was trying to build the 100 inch ( 2. 5 m ) Hooker Telescope at Mount Wilson, and donated an additional ten million dollars to the Carnegie Institution with the following suggestion to expedite the construction of the telescope: " I hope the work at Mount Wilson will be vigorously pushed, because I am so anxious to hear the expected results from it.

However, if light travels at finite speed, the Earth, and therefore the eye piece of the telescope, moves from E to E ′ during the time it takes light to travel from S to E. Consequently, the star will no longer appear in the center of the eye piece.

When the telescope is at position E it must be oriented toward spot S ′ so that the star light enters the telescope at spot S ′.

For the simple case where the direction of the light beam along the line SE is perpendicular to the motion of the observer then only light emitted at an angle equal to the arc cosine of the ratio of the observer's speed to the speed of light will reach the telescope.

Consequently, the telescope too must be oriented at this same angle away from the light beam's trajectory in the direction of the motion to capture this emitted light.

When James Bradley and Samuel Molyneux entered this sphere of astronomical research in 1725, there consequently prevailed much uncertainty whether stellar parallaxes had been observed or not ; and it was with the intention of definitely answering this question that these astronomers erected a large telescope at the house of the latter at Kew.
