The 7.5-inch Clark Refractor at the Harvard Observatory

In addition to the still-operating 9-inch Clark, a 7.5-inch Clark was also at Harvard for many years. It was in the CfA parking lot, sitting unused at least since the late 1980s. The telescope was removed for storage in 2016 Jun and the dome was demolished.
