Tebbutts Observatory

Windsor NSW 2756
Tebbutt's first Observatory (the circular building) built in 1863, has been demolished. The second Observatory (the circular building) was built in 1874 to accommodate a larger telescope, the square building was built in 1879.
The Observatory buildings are open to the public, strictly by appointment only, restored by astronomer John Tebbutt II's great grandson. Tebbutt, who appears on the grey 100 dollar note, discovered two comets from these observatories and had a crater on the moon named after him.
His great grandson still lives in the 1845 Peninsula House.
