This paper discusses the effect of using a vacuum chamber with a horizontal entrance window to eliminate astronomical refraction, dispersion and irregular refraction in a telescope tube. Some engineering problems arising in connection with the entrance window are dealt with. The actual results obtained by vacuum photoelectric astrolabes and a vacuum photographic zenith tube are presented.
