Reason
As you probably are aware if you've been here a bit, I've been trying to restore all thirty-two plates from Urania's Mirror. Two plates were not scanned by the LoC, and so I've prepared lower resolution copies (not quite up to FP standards), but other than those, this set marks the end of this group of restorations, and the start of my efforts to get Urania's Mirror the last bit of the way to FAC. These four plates form a continuous patch of sky, albeit a somewhat oddly-shaped one.
