A Catalogue of Crater Timings
Dave Herald and Roger Sinnott
Canberra Astronomical Society, Sky and Telescope (retired)
Byron Soulsby gathered a large collection of lunar eclipse crater timings, covering the period 1842 to 2008. Many attendees of NACAA have contributed to this data set over the years. Most notably, observations of a lunar eclipse were a feature component of the 1978 NACAA held in Canberra. Following Byron's death in 2009, the observations were retrieved from his computer and consolidated for archiving. Sky and Telescope has contributed the observations they have received since 1956. The consolidated set of observations are being archived to ensure their long-term survival.
