Nomenclature

OBSERVER, the person conducting the crater timings

TYPE, O is observed, T is theoretical, IM are immersions, EM are emersions

No, the number of timings used that are within the statistical limits of umbral enlargement (see also Table_1.html)

Ecc, the eccentricity of the umbra

Re, the equatorial radius of the umbra

Rp, the polar radius of the umbra

Fo, the observed oblateness, expressed as a reciprocal (if it is 500 then no observed value has been obtained)

SD, the standard deviation of the observation

SK', the value of observed oblateness as a ratio to that expected
