This became the site of the Armagh-Dunsink-Harvard 36-inch Baker-Schmidt telescope utilized by E.M.Lindsay (Harvard & Armagh) and other Irish and international astronomers.
In 1976 the Observatory was handed over to the University of the Orange Free State and the famous ADH telescope was dismantled.
Andrews then turned his attention to the new international astronomical facilities in Chile, and to available satellite technologies.
[citation needed] In the Irish Astronomical Journal Andrews reported[4] a suspected outburst of a B7 spectral type star in Auriga, BD +31 1048.
[5][6] This was a discovery made in his earliest work on flare stars and solar-related phenomena which he pioneered at Armagh Observatory.
[12][13] Andrews, now retired, and his wife, Mette, live in Dore, a village on the outskirts of the S.Yorkshire and Derbyshire border, near Sheffield, UK.
