Having completed his observations, Smyth retired to [[Cardiff]] in [[1839]]. His observatory was dismantled and the telescope was sold to Dr. [[John Lee]] and re-erected in a new observatory of his own design at Hartwell House. Smyth still had the opportunity to use it since his residence at St. John's Lodge was not far from its new ___location, and did a large number of additional astronomical observations from [[1839]] to [[1859]]. The present whereabouts of the telescope are unknown.

A [[lunar mare]] was named [[Mare Smythii]] in his honour.
