LUNAR OBSERVATORYThe observatory logo above is a thumbnail of my first CCD image analysed from the 1990 February 9 eclipse.
This original site was awarded a Times Pick by the Los
Angeles Times on 25-Sep-96.
Results are rolling in by e-mail from those observers who have participated in a world-wide observing program and contributed to my on-going study of the geometry of the Earth's atmosphere. A report of the analysis of crater timings made during the total lunar eclipse of 1996 September 26-27 is given, and will be regularly up-dated as more data comes to hand.
I will analyse your 1996 SEPTEMBER 26-27 LUNAR ECLIPSE crater timing observations and/or video recordings, if you send your data to my observatory address above, or by e-mail minnah@netspeed.com.au.
Reporting Observations
To ensure that I can quickly collate and analyse your observations, please send all reports by AIRMAIL or e-mail, and video tapes of the observation of the eclipse by AIRMAIL as soon as possible to:
