Longtime Flagstaff resident and astronomer Henry Giclas stands next to Lowell Observatory's 13-inch f-5 photographic camera at Anderson Mesa. This was the same camera used by Clyde W. Tombaugh when he discovered the planet Pluto in February of 1929 (the announcement of the discovery was delayed until March 13, 1930.)
