Pluto Telescope 8<br> Attractions & Amusements in Flagstaff picture - The telescope holds 14x17 photographic plates in the back. Clyde Tombaugh, V.M. Slipher's assistant, made numerous exposures on glass plates which were then compared with each other in a device called the blink comparator. Since the stars positions are static in relation to each other, anything that moves must be a planet or comet. This painstaking method was how he found Pluto.
