Scientific paper
Focusing on New England, this paper will examine the distribution and use of the telescope in America from colonial times until the end of the 18th century. We will find that most telescopes of the period were imported and prized possessions. I will discuss who owned these telescopes and how they acquired them; the uses to which telescopes were put; and how the instruments were kept operational.
