Longtom, the nine-pound cannon in Treasure Island, is the nickname of the Nikon 10-cm refractor used regularly by Hoei Nojiri (1885–1977) {see planet  (3008)}, who ordered the telescope and translated Stevenson’s novel into Japanese in 1928. The telescope was at one time also used by Tokyo astronomer Koichiro Tomita {see planet  (2391)}. (M 36946) _ _.
