Consider this a "want ad" for observations of the Apollo lunar missions.
I first started collecting pointers to this stuff while doing intro-astronomy lectures on such topics as the Apollo-hoax notions, faces on Mars, missing days... and that turned out to be surprisingly popular. At the urging of a couple of colleagues, I've started a WWW collection on telescopic tracking of the Apollo missions. This should be useful, since most of the material is not only solely in printed form, but old enough that it's not electronically indexed. so this makes it available for the curious Googler. The current version (rapidly growing) lives at http://www.astr.ua.edu/keel/space/apollo.html I'm hereby asking for any further contributions of images or visual reports of the Apollo lunar flights. In particular, 15-17 showed a distinct lessening of at least editorial interest - Sky and Telescope had articles on observations of 8-14 but not thereafter. I do notice that some of the names mentioned in one of these articles circa 1971 are still around in the satellite-observation community. The aspect of this site which is intended to counter hoax theorists gives special value to reports from amateurs, and most especially those outside the US (there were numerous reports I've already seen from the UK, the Netherlands, and Germany at least). Furthermore, if anyone happens to have citations to tracking images in AvLeak, I'd appreciate getting them - our library doesn't have it, so trackinh those down tends to require waiting for sort-of-annual vsiits to Kitt Peak. Thanks, Bill Keel |
