On this day in 1915 - September 14th - John Lowry Dobson was born.
Dobson was a keen amateur astronomer and popularizer of astronomy. He designed and promoted a quality telescope that could be made using inexpensive, readily available materials. The Dobsonian telescope meant that amateur astronomers could afford a portable instrument of a size and aperture that would otherwise be beyond their means.
