¤·····Subject: RE: For CMO#400

Received; 28 June 2012 at 00:29 JST

 

Dear Masatsugu,
   On reading your note, I am hoping that your condition may be improving now.  It seems that the Parkinson's syndrome came on quite suddenly, but I suppose it may have been gradual for sometime and only worsened now; was the strain and fatigue of a winter Mars opposition involved?  I do know that with Parkinson's it is important to get a lot of rest and not to overdo.  This will be something that will be difficult for someone like yourself.
   I got back from Lowell Observatory three weeks ago.  The transit observations (with Paolo Tanga's coronagraph, which I used visually; Paolo used another to image Venus with CCD) were entirely successful.  We got splendid views of the aureole, and I also saw quite a dramatic Black Drop.  I shall send you drawings from my home address.  I also spent time with Dale Cruikshank, who recounted his experiences with Kuiper and other similar adventures, and I made some explorations of the geological sites associated with the training of astronauts during the Apollo era, including a descent into Meteor Crater with Drew Barringer (grandson of the person who tried to mine the iron and nickel that he thought was buried at the bottom).
  I have my transit observations to write up, and also an article with Jay Pasachoff disputing the claim that Lomonosov saw the aureole in 1761 has plunged me into controversy; these queries must be replied to sometimes.  I am trying to finish work on a translation into English of James Lequeux's book on Le Verrier.  Also of course I have many professional duties to attend to.  So it is somewhat difficult to commit to an article for the CMO by mid-July, but I may suggest writing up something on the Mars book that the Trustee of Lowell Observatory wanted V.M. Slipher, E.C., and C.O. Lampland to write in the 1920s.  A fair amount of work went into it, but it was never published; however, I did have a chance to look at these manuscripts in the archives at
Lowell when I was there.  Would this interest CMO readers?  I shall try to write something on this for you in the spare hour.

 

With best wishes,

 

Bill SHEEHAN (Willmar, MN)

Hi Folks,

After a rather quiet week the sun appears to be throwing a little action our way once again.  These images are taken with the Luntanado 100/90 at .5A (the full disk shots), and a Coronado 90 at .7A (the rest).  The camera was a DMK 41 USB.  Enjoy !

¤·····Subject: CMO #400

Received; 25 June 2012 at 21: 19 JST

 

Dear Masatsugu,

I think I have answered too fast to your request for a special note for the #400. An essay about the Alba cloud observed in 2010 looks secondary to this respect.

I have the idea of writing something about the now famous "Wayne Jaeschke's cloud". Not about just this cloud, but about all those limb clouds that we have observed. We have many preceding references ; like the 2003 one, or some found on HST shots (Reiichi looked one on a 2003 image ; and I have casually found another in 1999 february - unreleased images).

I don't know if that essay will be able to propose some explanations. But at least there will be a record of all the detected events, with some remarks (prefered sites of apparition, frequency, observed albedo (filters)....)

Do this sounds right to you ?
Best wishes,

 

Christophe PELLIER (Nantes, FRANCE)

Dear Bill,
Thank you for your encouragement. I can't imagine the CMO/ISMO to stop, even temporarily. The level of quality of the review as well as the adequate form of publication for amateurs is a wealth !
I have read with interest your comments about the Lowel's observatory project of pro/am cooperation. This kind of cooperation is getting more strenght currently in the planetary domain, thanks of course to the great discoveries made by amateurs over the past years, especially on Jupiter but Saturn as well.
Two weeks ago I have been participating to a pro/am "school" organized in La Rochelle every three years by the CNRS (national council of the scientific research) and the AUDE association (that has been promoting for years the spectroscopy for amateurs), and this year for the first time they added a session dealing with possible cooperation projects about the gas giants - Marc Delcroix made a talk about Saturn, Jean-Luc Dauvergne on the new cameras and Ricardo Hueso Alonso, from the Sanchez-Lavega's group in Bilbao, presented the jovian climate.
Mars is not right now a subject for a cooperation of this kind but it could be. Yes monitoring dust storms is a subject, but there may be other topics as well. In september, the European planetary science congress (EPSC) will open for the first time an amateur session (with Marc and Ricardo), and I have chosen to propose an abstract for a talk about Mars, that I have added to this e-mail. It will be first an attempt to show what is the level of amateur studies today. Apart of dust storms I'd like to describe as well a precise study of the Tharsis spring/summer clouds.
I think that an ISMO essay about the
Lowell's observatory projects would be very pertinent...
Best wishes to all of you,

¤·····Subject: CMO/ISMO

Received; 15 June 2012 at 08:49 JST

 

Dear Masatsugu and Christophe,

    I am sorry to hear, Masatsugu, of your continuing neurological difficulties, and am hoping with Christophe that the nuclear scan of your brain sheds some light on this.  It must be very frustrating not to be able to keep up your usual workload.  Christophe, I commend you for agreeing to fill in for Masatsugu in keeping CMO/ISMO up to date, and I am hoping to contribute an essay in due course, as soon as I get caught up with obligations.

   The transit of Venus observations from Lowell Observatory were excellent; Paolo Tanga, whom you both met in Paris for our 2009 Mars observers meeting, brought two special coronagraphs, one used by Paolo to obtain CCD imagery and the other by myself visually.  We were eager to record the aureole.  Though there were a number of other instruments deployed internationally (the project was led by Paolo and Thomas Widemann of Paris Observatory), I personally think the Flagstaff results were the best. 

     At Lowell I spent some time in the archives and read through manuscript materials for the book that the Sole Trustee, Roger Lowell Putnam II, expected V.M. and E. C. Slipher and C.O. Lampland to write about Mars after Percival Lowell’s death.  It was quite interesting to see all this, and I think partly explains the distractions that V.M. experienced after he made the initial spectrograms of the nebulae in the nineteen teens.  This would make an interesting CMO/ISMO essay.

   Klaus Brasch and Kevin Schindler, who are both associated with Lowell Observatory, and I discussed a new pro-am initiative that is being organized through Lowell Observatory, and would like to make an announcement to CMO/ISMO to consider participating in the program.  Lowell Observatory was for many years the leader in monitoring Mars, and perhaps through this program we can once again serve a role of coordinating amateur observations with those being made by professionals and space probes.  The dust storm monitoring seems especially worthwhile, as well as creation of an organized data archive like that CMO has been organizing for many years.

   Best,

Bill SHEEHAN (Willmar, MN)

Hi folks---

There have been lots of wonderful images being posted of yesterdays transit of Venus!   Hopefully weather was good enough for all of you to see it.   Here is my contribution from yesterday.  The scope was a Lunt 100 T/Ha and a DMK 41 camera.  These were imaged from Joshua Tree National Park in the southern California desert.  The transit from this location allowed me to image about 2/3rd's of it before the sun set.

Enjoy!

Dears,
Under good seeing for the R+IR, but unfortunately with a bad transparency degrading quickly and ruining my color layers:

There are details in the rest of the GWS, especially in R+IR, luminance and green layers.
A montage in R+IR with clockwise starting from
00:00 Mimas hardly visible, Enceladus, Rhea, Titan, Dione and Tethys (all satellites brightness have been modified):

Surface is loaded with whitish zones - many clouds, also visible on the
blue layer. Around the polar cap there are 3 of those !
