For the majority of these journeys, the astronomers used a 40ft portable camera designed by J. M. Schaeberle. The images displayed here foreground three themes suggested by the archive: understanding the sun, onsite labour, and the importance of framing.gallery2016-06-07T15:39:30-07:00Alex Moore6cd84a9f7efd71803c15562e48a509db9e0bb5a6
