Hi Jan:

In addition to the book by Dava Sobel there's a good movie.  Links on the
Ukiah 
Observatory web page below.

The related problem that was much harder to solve is the Latitude.  For more
on 
that see:  http://www.prc68.com/I/UkiahObs.shtml   I live in Ukiah,
California, 
where one of these observatories is located.
