"My (12-foot) scope is not too much to my fancy, being
prone to bending and sagging when not suspended
only by one place. It will be necessary to find some remedy for this.
We still know her here (in Paris) only from fame,
no one has tried it yet. But all being informed
by me of the Saturnian Satellite, and of its period, they cannot
deny that my scope does not outweigh all those that have
never been"
Huygens
