D. MaunderRelated: Her eclipse images exemplify photography's role in preserving transient solar phenomena for analysis.Astronomy (magazine)Related: The magazine publishes techniques and equipment guidance for imaging the sky.Dorothea KlumpkeRelated: Photographic records supported the nebula research and measurement culture surrounding her work.
