An excellent example, tightly bound and clean throughout. Not in Margolis & Moss. In 1888, Schaeberle became one of the inaugural astronomers at Lick Observatory. He led expeditions to witness the solar eclipses at Cayenne, French Guiana, in 1889; to Chile, in 1893, and to Japan, in 1896, having designed the "Schaeberle Camera" to photograph the sun and its corona during the eclipses.
