Octagon Room, Flamsteed House, Royal Observatory, Greenwich.
The Royal Observatory, Greenwich (formerly the Royal Greenwich Observatory or RGO), in London, England played a major role in the history of astronomy and navigation, and is best known as the location of the prime meridian.
Many horological artefacts are displayed, documenting the history of precision timekeeping for navigational and astronomical purposes.
The centrepiece of Christopher Wren's Flamsteed House was the Octagon Room, with tall windows and an elaborate plaster ceiling.
One fascade was orientated orientated north, though not exactly enough to allow certain types of observation, since another of the economies was building the Observatory on the pre-existing foundations of a demolished medieval tower, latterly called Greenwich Castle.
The Octagon Room housed the original observatory and Flamsteed's eccentric collection of instruments, above the Astronomer Royal's own quarters.
These were to be Flamsteed's home for nearly four decades.
In this time he prepared some of the most accurate star maps ever produced, mainly using a transit telescope exactly mounted on the first 'Greenwich meridian' (north-south line) in a small brick shed at the bottom of the garden.

I won't get any sympathy here but I was stuck with not finding the right vibe of a bracelet or watch band for the Rolands Sands watch. I thought I was going to settle in with a gray rubber strap but I was digging through my camera bag today and found this rubber camo strap with a butterfly clasp. I had remembered I won this at the Austin Watch Expo but had totally discounted it. It is perfect for this manly, moto-themed watch!!
Personally very proud of this one. #OceanDiver #Chronograph #Chrono #womw #horology / @zodiacwatches bit.ly/1k3SvoP
