Norman P. Butler (1943 - ) Holds an MS.c., BS.c., A.A. in Astronomy and Physics. > ATM inventor in 1980 of the first original 'One-Of-A-Kind' Cassegrain Binocular telescope on a clock-drive equatorial fork mount with a full 360 degree dual optical tube rotation ring system. The dual 6 inch F/15 Cassegrain Binocular telescope utilizes a dual Bushnell 'zoom' eyepiece focusing system. After nearly 30 years since they were first introduced at the 1981 (RTMC) Riverside Telescope Makers Conference (Engineering Merit Award), the dual 6 inch F/15 Cassegrain Binoculars still remain 'unique' among binocular telescope designs. http://www.myoptics.at/users/sf6ght09ufpy71sl/issueD32008.zip http://www.rtmcastronomyexpo.org/RDS/RTMC81.html http://www.rtmcastronomyexpo.org/RDS/RTMC82.html http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb.cgi?sstr=4525+Johnbauer

Norman P. Butler worked at Haleakala Observatory on Maui for AVCO Everett Research Laboratory in the 1980's, specializing in astronomical engineering, performing galactic core research using a 1.6M telescope on the giant elliptical galaxy M-87, atmospheric and scintillation measurement studies and IR meteor trail research using newly developed CCD technology with a 1.2M telescope and also suggested the name for main-belt asteroid 4525 Johnbauer (1982 JB3).
