The Otto Struve Telescope was the first major telescope to be built at McDonald Observatory. Located in the Davis Mountains in West Texas, the Otto Struve Telescope was designed by Warner & Swasey Company and constructed between 1933 and 1939 by the . Its 82-inch (2.1 m) mirror was the second largest in the world at the time. It was named after the Russian-American astronomer Otto Struve in 1966, three years after his death; Struve had been the director of McDonald Observatory from 1932–1950.

  • Телескоп Отто Струве — 2,08-метровый телескоп рефлектор построенный в 1933—1939 годах в обсерватории Мак-Доналд на высоте 2070 м над уровнем моря. Назван в честь первого директора обсерватории Отто Струве. На момент постройки телескоп был вторым по размеру в мире и удерживал это звание около 10 лет. Телескоп используется и в настоящее время.

  • The Otto Struve Telescope was the first major telescope to be built at McDonald Observatory. Located in the Davis Mountains in West Texas, the Otto Struve Telescope was designed by Warner & Swasey Company and constructed between 1933 and 1939 by the . Its 82-inch (2.1 m) mirror was the second largest in the world at the time. It was named after the Russian-American astronomer Otto Struve in 1966, three years after his death; Struve had been the director of McDonald Observatory from 1932–1950. The Davis Mountains is an excellent location for astronomical research because of the clear dry air and moderately high elevation. The remote nature of the facility proved to be a significant challenge in transporting such a large mirror. It was a very precarious journey for the Otto Struve Telescope's mirror to this remote part of Texas and up to the top of Mount Locke. The mirror was transported from the local town of Fort Davis up the mountain by , owner of a local trucking company, while locals cheered as they looked on. The Otto Struve telescope is still in use today. It is updated with modern imaging detectors allowing astronomers to conduct many types of research. (en)

Em 1949, Gerard Kuiper do Observatório Yerkes descobriu uma nova lua do planeta Neptuno, chamada Nereida. A lua foi descoberta em placas fotográficas tiradas em uma busca pelas luas de Neptuno. (pt)
