LtE in CMO #239

From Myron E WASIUTA


@. . . . . . Just a short note to say hello and that I have been waiting a long time to resume our work together! I made my first observations of Mars for the 2000-2001 last month, and will be sending them shortly. In addition to the 155mm f7 refractor that I used in 1999, I will be using a homebuilt 32cm f7 reflector on a dobsonian mount. Please remind me again how you would like sketches submitted so that I may be consistent with other observers in CMO.

Respectfully Yours,

(13 January 2001 email)

@. . . . . . I have changed email addresses several times and have also had problems with my computer, but that is all fixed now. I am sorry if this has caused you or your staff any problems. My airmail address has not changed, however, and I have been receiving CMO journal through No. 238! I will send out my observations for December, 2000 soon, and plan on putting my sketches on a blank drawn to the ALPO scale on a white sheet of paper. Is this OK? Once again, I look forward to a great season, and can hardly wait for the good air of Spring and Summer to study the red planet!

@. . . . . . . Please find enclosed my observations of Mars for the month of December 2000. I will be using a 12.5 inches f6.8 reflector as well as the 6.1 inches f7 refractor used for the last Mars observing season. Again, as I mentioned in our email correspondence, I am happy to once again be contributing to the CMO. I enjoy reading every issue of the CMO Reports from cover to cover. Often they contain information useful in explaining details I have seen on the Red planet.

I am submitting the observations as requested one-per-page, and I hope my interpretation of the form is satisfactory. If not, please let me know and I will change them as directed.

If all goes well, I plan to contribute ccd images as well, however, I have been unable to obtain any worthwhile images yet. My compliments to you, Your colleagues, and to Donald Parker for producing some very fine observations this early in the apparition!
