RECONOCIMIENTO A NUESTRO PROGRAMA “LUNAR 100” EN “THE LUNAR OBSERVER” DE JULIO 2020


Con mucho orgullo presentamos nuestra participación en una nueva edición de “The Lunar Observer”, la revista de observación lunar más importante del mundo, con la que colaboramos permanentemente desde agosto de 2015, ya van 60 meses seguidos de observaciones. Además de ser un aniversario, es un número importante porque se hace una expresa mención y reconocimiento a nuestro programa “Lunar 100”, como ya se había hecho en el número de mayo de 2020. Un reconocimiento que nos enorgullece y nos compromete a seguir en el camino de ser una asociación con pocos medios materiales pero de enorme prestigio intelectual (no estuvimos muy modestos, eh?).
La revista se puede descargar de la web de ALPO:  http://www.alpo-astronomy.org/gallery3/var/albums/Lunar/The-Lunar-Observer/2020/tlo202007.pdf?m=1593571464 y también del siguiente link:

Cook 120 Key to Images in this Issue 134 These are the modern Golden Days of lunar studies in a way, with so many new resources available to lunar observers. Recently, we have mentioned Robert Garfinkle’s opus Luna Cognita and the new lunar map by the USGS. This month brings us the updated, 7th edition of the Virtual Moon Atlas. These are all wonderful resources for your lunar studies. This month, The Lunar Observer features Jerry Hubbell’s Focus On article, Lunar 100, Features 11-20. This has proven to be an incredibly popular series! My new page By the Numbers (page 7) tells of 34 observers submitting 215 lunar observations for this issue. Many of those images grace these pages, and all are in the ALPO Lunar Image Gallery. Also be sure to check out page 10, the 2020 ALPO Walter H. Haas Observer’s Award. All this, plus articles by Alberto Anunziato, Rik Hill, Howard Eskildsen and Tony Cook. Enjoy and be safe.

La Sección “Focus On” de este mes correspondió a los accidentes lunares pertenecientes a la lista del Lunar 100 en los números 11 a 20. El reconocimiento a nuestro programa se encuentra en las páginas 40/41:

Once again, we had a very large response to our request for images and drawings for the second set of 10 features of the Lunar 100 (L11 – L20). As in the last article, we again had images taken with cellphone cam-eras. I am grateful for all the submissions. We had a total of 87 images and drawings submitted from over 20 astronomers. Most of the images came from Alberto Anunziato’s groups, SAO-SLA, and LIADA. Previ-ously he prefaced the images he sent on behalf of his group this way:

“LUNAR 100 PROGRAM Sociedad Astronómica Octante-Sociedad Lunar Argentina
When we found out that the next objectives of the Focus On Section would be the features listed in the Charles Wood's famous Lunar 100, the members from Sociedad Lunar Argenti-na (SLA) and Sociedad Astronómica Octante (SAO) of the República Oriental del Uruguay, we considered interesting to join the initiative of "The Lunar Observer" (TLO) and therefore we launched our Lunar 100 Program, under the auspices of the Lunar Section of the Liga Iberoamericana de Astronomía (LIADA). The objective is twofold. We will report the images submitted to the program to "The Lunar Observer". And we will also publish them in all the media of SLA, SAO and LIADA. We think it is a great opportunity to stimulate amateur lu-nar observation and if the call is successful, we can dream of some final joint publication.”
We look forward to future drawings and images submitted by ALPO, SLA, SAO, LIADA members. Please share with us any images you have in your image catalog, we hope to see everyone participate in these Focus On articles.

Anthony Cook comenta una observación de Alberto Anunziato de Daniell para compararla con reporte de FLT de 1979:


Figure 3. Daniell. (Background) An image by Derick Ward (BAA) taken on 2020 May 02 UT 21:52-21:54 and orien-tated with north towards the top. (Bottom Left) A sketch by John Saxton (BAA) made on 1979 Jul 04 UT 20:40-21:19 orientation presumably with north towards the bottom? (Right) A sketch by Alberto Anunziatio made on 2020 May 02 UT 22:20-22:35 with an “N” indicating where north is – the numbers indicate relative brightness.
