Scientific paper

I UNDERSTAND that in photographing a planet, such as Mars, only a short exposure can be allowed, because there is no way of compensating the planet's axial rotation. But, while following the planet with the equatorial, would it not be possible to compensate this axial movement by slowly sliding the plate, so that certain features of the planet should fall always on the same parts of the plate? If this is so, an exposure of some length might be available for the more central portions of the disc, those portions for which, during the interval, no serious alteration due to foreshortening comes into play.
