Description
Lantern slide of the photoelectric photometer around 1925. From the Observatory's lantern slide collection, marked "PE 2." Robert Baker continued Stebbin's photometry work when he arrived at Illinois in 1923. He continued to use the 12-inch refractor for photometer until about 1926 after which time he used the rebuilt 30-inch reflector.
