Chester Moore Hall


Chester Moore Hall was a British lawyer and inventor who produced the first achromatic lenses in 1729 or 1733.
He used the achromatic lens to build the first achromatic telescope, a refracting telescope free from chromatic aberration.
He lived at New Hall, Sutton.
His name was also spelled Chester Moor Hall and Chester More Hall.
The design had two elements, a crown and flint glass, that brought two wavelengths of light to a focus.
Chester is noted as having made the first twin color corrected lens in 1730.
