Title: Remarks to the article: New Light on the Invention of the Achromatic Telescope Objective,
Abstract: The article analysis was carried out within the confines of the replication
project of the telescope, which was used by Mikhail Lomonosov at observation
the transit of Venus in 1761. At that time he discovered the Venusian
atmosphere. It is known that Lomonosov used Dollond 4.5 feet long achromatic
telescope. The investigation revealed significant faults in the description of
the approximation method, which most likely was used by J. Dollond & Son during
manufacturing of the early achromatic lenses.
