On January 16th 1867, Mr Baxendell at Mr Worthington's observatory in Manchester observed the occultation of Aldebaran by the Moon. The star disappeared at 02 h 59m and 6 sec and reappeared at 4hr 10 min and 7 sec.
The disappearance and reappearance were both instantaneous, and no unusual phenomenon was observed. The telescope used was the equatorial mounted achromatic of 70 inch focal length and a 5 inch aperture with a power of 68.
I don't know the maker of this particular telescope.
