"Palomar Astronomical Photographies" published in the 1970s. As described in the subtitle, "The Giant Telescope's image of the universe", we used the reflection telescopes of Mount Wilson and Paloma ranging from 2.5m to 5.0m, and the 1.2m Schmidt telescope (all belonging to the Hale Observatory). Photographs of the "universe" taken by Considering the exposure for tens of minutes to several hours and the timing when the air flow is stable throughout the shooting, these are astronomical photographs with wonderfully detailed details taken by painstaking shooting. Also, in this era, astronomical photographs were mostly monochrome in general due to the inability to quantitatively measure the amount of light, but it is also attractive that this book also includes color. With a large A3-size format and a beautifully designed layout, this book can be evaluated not only as a "scientific purpose" but also as a celestial photographic collection as an "artwork."
