The most important work carried out there was a study of the motion of the moon. ==Founding of the observatory== In 1882 David Gill, director of the Royal Observatory, Cape of Good Hope, requested the government of Natal to establish an astronomical observatory at Durban, in anticipation of the transit of Venus on 4 December that year. Mr Robert T. Pett, third assistant at the Royal Observatory, visited Durban in June that year to expedite matters.〔Pietermaritzburg Archives Repository, Vol. CSO 861, ref. 1882/2330, letter to colonial secretary, 20 June 1882〕 A site for the observatory was chosen in the southwest corner of the Natal Botanic Gardens.〔Neison, Edmund. The Natal Observatory. Science, v. 3, n. 59, p. 356. (21 March 1884)〕 Gill invited the British astronomer Edmund Neville Nevill (also known as Edmund Neison) to take up the post of government astronomer of Natal and director of the observatory, urging him to arrive in time to observe the transit. Nevill landed in Durban on 27 November and despite problems with the available equipment managed to observe the transit successfully.〔Moore, P. & Collins, P. ''The astronomy of southern Africa''.
