...stars are actually counted from plates taken by small three-inch telescopes, which cover 16 square degrees of the heavens on each plate. The plates are then divided into quarter-inch squares, and the observer looks through a pair of binoculars to count the images within each square, finding as, many as three or four hundred in each.
