Maurice Farman and the Chevreuse Observatory
As far as I am aware this is the not the same Maurice Farman who was an early pioneer in the days of flight, but I am always ready to be proved wrong.
In 1908 while observing at the Chevreuse Obseravtory near Paris, an observatory I have never heard of before observed 1,100 double stars while using a 9.5 inch Cooke telescope.
His observations were apparently quite brief and usually
consisted of just one line of information, many additional notes were drawn from historical observations of
the stars he observed in 1908.
