The East India Company having resolved to establish an
observatory at Madras for promoting the
knowledge of Astronomy, Geography and
Navigation in India, Sir Charles Oakeley, then
President of the Council had the building for the
observatory completed by 1792. The Madras series of
observations had commenced in 1787(1786)* through
the efforts of a member of the Madras
Government - William Petrie - who had in his possession
two three-inch achromatic telescopes, two astronomical
clocks with compound pendulums and an excellent
transit instrument. This equipment formed the nucleus
of instrumentation of the new observatory, which soon
embarked on a series of observations of the stars, the
moon, and eclipses of Jupiter's satellites, with the
accurate determination of longitude, as its first concern.
