=== Former telescopes ===
* The {{convert|0.9|m|in|abbr=on}} Armagh-Dunsink-Harvard Telescope was a [[Schmidt–Cassegrain telescope]] built in 1949 by [[Perkin-Elmer]]. Three organisations were involved: [[Armagh Observatory]], [[Dunsink Observatory]], and Harvard. It was installed at Bloemfontein in 1950. However, it never worked well, and after several attempts to fix it, the mirrors and lens were removed in 1981 and sent to Dunsink.<ref name=2007BUTL />
* The {{convert|0.6|m|in|abbr=on}} Bruce Astrograph was a [[refracting telescope]] built in 1893 by [[Alvan Clark & Sons]].<ref name=GENHISTV4 /> After being used for many years in Arequipa, it was brought to Bloemfontein and housed in a building with a roll-off roof. With plates taken by this telescope, [[Harlow Shapley]] discovered the [[Sculptor Galaxy|Sculptor]] and [[Fornax Dwarf|Fornax]] dwarf galaxies, the first of their kind.<ref name=Shapley1/><ref name=Shapley2/> In 1950, it was replaced by the Armagh-Dunsink-Harvard Telescope.<ref name=1971JARR />
