Abstract
The collection of the astronomical photographic plates of the Sternberg Astronomical Institute (Lomonosov Moscow University) contains many high-quality astronomical photographs of the galaxies M31 and M33. This observational material made in possible to discover 70 novae in the Andromeda Nebula, to study in detail several luminous blue variables in the Triangulum Nebula.
