That would be fun to have a UFO poster from him, though! We had magnesium powder aluminum powder, potassium nitrate and perchlorate. Used to make rockets with sugar potassium nitrate and a bit of magnesium powder. Used aluminum foil to contain...

Another recent arXiv that seems worth adding to the pile is @Ivo Busko Fast Astronomical Transients in Archival Photographic Plates: Using optical aberrations as a tool for discerning real images, from plate artifacts. Source...
