... The first step is to open and inspect the camera body. ... Notice that there are snap locks on both sides of the camera body, one of which should already be open since it contained the film removed by the developer.

You should now have four pieces: the front cover, back cover, middle (main camera with lens), and a cylindrical spool. ...

. Take a look at the chart. The variable is smack-dab in the middle, represented by a small circle. Notice that many of the nearby stars have numbers next to them — those numbers are the apparent magnitudes, to the nearest tenth of a magnitude, of the indicated stars. The decimals points are removed to avoid confusing them for another star. For example, the star marked "59" at the top of the chart is magnitude 5.9. CES

... AstroAsciiData is a Python module to handle ASCII tables. ... The idea to develop this Python module emerged from the fact that ASCII tables continue to be one of the most popular and widely used data exchange formats in astronomy and probably science in general. ...
