Harold Ridley moved from Godalming (MPC code 994) to Eastfield in
1979 and the Eastfield observatory was in use until shortly before his
death in 1995 (obituary).
It contained a 15cm refractor used to guide a camera with a Zeiss 18cm f/7 lens.
Afterwards the house was sold to another astronomer and the dome at the
original location is still visible in GoogleEarth images taken in April
2020.
This image, from 27 June 2018 gives the
coordinates for Eastfield Observatory as:
Longitude 002° 44' 23.00" W, latitude 50° 55' 22.77" N, height
57 m
