Isaac Roberts old 7 inch Cooke telescope

 In a 7-inch Cooke the star seemed to have half its spurious disk projected, but, when the central point of the disk touched the limb, the star instantly vanished.

This was in reference to the occultation of Aldebaran by the Moon.

This was the 7 inch Cooke that was attached to the 20 inch reflector owned originally by Isaac Roberts.
