- Henry Fox Talbot "An account of some recent improvements in photography" (1841)
- William Crookes "On the photography of the moon" (1886)
Crookes had access to a telescope that forum members who photograph the moon might like to get their hands on - mount and telescope weighed about 5 tons and was moved equatorially by means of a small water mill.
One wonders what the authors of these documents would make of the photographic tools and techniques that are now at our disposal.
