Additional information: "In January 1930, I re-photographed Gemini. On the crystal clear night of 21 January, I took the first plate of the Delta Geminorum region. Soon after I started the exposure, a strong Northeast wind came up, and the 3rd magnitude guide star was darting about wildly, and swelled up to over 2 times the angular diameter of Jupiter-completely fading away at times. I never saw worst seeing in my life before or since. I continued the exposure until the end of the hour and quit for the night. The images were badly swollen, but showed Pluto's image in the right place- consistent with the shift on the 23 and 29 January plates, which I detected at about 4:00 PM Mountain Time on 18 February 1930. " Dr. Clyde W. Tombaugh, from his memoirs, "THE STRUGGLES TO FIND THE NINTH PLANET." Tombaugh died on January 17, 1997,  in his home in New Mexico; he was 90 years old.
