Astronomy Transparencies
	20" X 16" glass mounted plates
	These are photographs of 20" X 16" glass mounted astronomical transparencies. These were originally used in museum displays. The plates were mounted in recessed wall frames which were backlit.
	I photographed these plates with a digital camera. The plates were placed on a window sill to take the pictures.
