香港天文先驅 廖慶齊先生 ---- Wongsir
廖慶齊先生在美國仍然有觀星和拍天文照, 這是他用AstroPhysics 20.6cm折射鏡拍的單張月球相.

The 12-inch telescope was donated to HKU around 1980/81 together with the mounting, etc.roh 寫:呢支巨型反射鏡, 是否仍然運作中呢?Wongsir 寫:再來一張1976年拍的12吋牛頓反射鏡照.
牛頓鏡是座落在一台英國越軸式腳架,由一組Byer蝸輪齒推動,电子控制追蹤行星.月和恆星,觀星時推開屋頂上蓋.
Roh,
根我所知, 廖生已捐贈給港大, 後來港大又送回OTA鏡筒部份給太空館.
相信腳架已消失於世上, 至於OTA則可直接詢問太空館現在的處境.
無論天文人如果珍惜這些天文界歷史瑰寶,但落入一班公務員手上,相信衹是歷史廢物, 遲早會像腳座一樣, 塵歸於塵, 土歸於土, 無奈!

It was moth-balled for more than 10 years at HKU, and finally re-erected in the then newly built dome on top of the New Physics Department. However, the mounting was not re-useable, and a new mount, based on the original design, was made. Computer control was added with the help of an engineer from Beijing Observatory.
Unfortunately, the computer control could not work through the 2000 millenium bug. Moreover, the telescope was deemed not enough for serving the Astronomy students, thus it was dismantled and a new 16-inch RC reflector was installed in its place.
The OTA should still be with the Space Museum.

廖生年輕時遇到的趣事.
1953年買外國牛頓望遠鏡回香港當作軍火被關進沙田警署.
Abstract below is his email (3/2008)...
Dear Wong Sir,
.........
..... I am particularly happy and proud to see that those fine and practical astronomy related products are produced by our mother country.
I wish those telescopes and accessories were available during my teen age period.
I can never forget the difficulties and numerous red tapes I had to order to import even a toy-liked 9cm Newtonian telescope from New York
when I was a high school boy; then in early 1953 when I imported a 16.5cm F10 clock-driven Newtonian reflector with setting circles from England,
I was arrested by local policemen near the Shatin Police Station for being suspected of smuggling weapon into Hong Kong!
You are actually doing somthing very meaningful, a good job for the general public, and I want to congratulate you. Wishing you a very successful and prosperous business!

Mr Liu is definitely a legend in HK amateur astronomy! I also had the privilege to visit his observatory in Shengshui as a school astro club function (~1975/6). It is an event I'll never forget. I remember, as a gift, he gave us a photo of pluto he captured using his scope. At the time, it was something we can only dream of...
As a side note, I thought his scope was a 12.5" newtonian/cassegrain? I remember it has been the largest scope in Hong Kong for quite a number of years in those days...

Anyone兄:有沒有跟當年『科技世界』雜誌訂購鏡片做折射式望遠鏡?anyone 寫:yes ! 該期雜誌我都有買啊,印象非常深刻,都今天仍然烙在腦海中!wtyu21 寫:有幸某次80年代初在太空館遊玩時見到先輩廖慶齊先生(當年為太空館館長)匆匆在我眼前走過,但遺憾未有取得他的簽名留念。
好記得70年代未坊間有一本港產科技雜誌名叫 “科技世界”,內容包羅萬有,有一期就是專訪廖先生的,還記得封底彩照是廖先生帶領一群青年人參觀其上水私人天文台,還在12吋底下大合照,不知照片中其中一人就是黃Sir呢?
冇記錯的話,該位先生自稱是第一位參觀美國巴洛馬天文台 200 吋鏡的中國人,當時真的羨慕不已!
