- Title:
- Boyden Plate Box 27: Comet Peltier, zodiacal light, and reproductions
- Scope & Content:
-
Two images of astronomical objects are presented in this set of images: Comet Peltier, imaged in 1936, and the zodiacal light, imaged in 1932. The latter plate, however, appears fogged, rendering the subtle zodiacal light all but impossible to make out. A faded pencilled note on the plate box reads: "Astron photo No [illegible]". There are also 8 reproductions from text books, of unrelated content, which have not been digitized.
