The Craig telescope was a large telescope built in the 1850s, and while much larger than previous refracting telescopes, it had some problems that hampered its use. Its unique design and potential caused a great deal of excitement in its day. The telescope was ready in August 1852 and was visited by William Parsons, 3rd Earl of Rosse, famous for the Leviathan of Parsonstown, a reflecting telescope and the largest telescope of this age with a six foot mirror.

- El telescopio Craig fue un enorme refractor (con una longitud de 25 m y una lente de 63 cm de diámetro, la mayor del mundo en su momento) construido en los años 1850 en Wandsword Commons, actualmente un barrio del sudoeste de Londres. Inaugurado en agosto de 1852 gracias a la iniciativa del reverendo local, John Craig (1805-1877), tuvo una vida efímera debido a sus graves problemas de diseño, siendo desmantelado en 1856. (es)

- El telescopio Craig fue un enorme refractor (con una longitud de 25 m y una lente de 63 cm de diámetro, la mayor del mundo en su momento) construido en los años 1850 en Wandsword Commons, actualmente un barrio del sudoeste de Londres. Inaugurado en agosto de 1852 gracias a la iniciativa del reverendo local, John Craig (1805-1877), tuvo una vida efímera debido a sus graves problemas de diseño, siendo desmantelado en 1856. Su singular configuración (con la inusual torre cilíndrica de ladrillo que le servía de apoyo y su llamativo tubo en forma de cigarro puro) y sus potenciales capacidades astronómicas para realizar descubrimientos importantes, causaron una gran expectación en su día, cuando se convirtió en el refractor más grande del mundo. El telescopio empezó a operar en agosto de 1852 y fue utilizado para observar Saturno y para intentar localizar los presuntos satélites de Venus. Sin embargo, su inadecuado diseño y los problemas personales de Craig abocaron a su prematuro cierre cuatro años después. (es)
