Spot on Saturn seen from Sunderland in 1890 with a Cooke telescope

 Dr J Haswell, Grange Terrace, Sunderland  observed the spot on Saturn that had been seen by Dr Terby in March 1890. He saw the spot on several  nights in March , and he described it as being very obvious on March 30th, though not so noticeable as it had been last spring. 

Haswell used a 4.25 inch Thomas Cooke & Sons telescope which was of short focal length.
