Abstract

Over 22,00 crater timing observations made over 170 years have been collected, archived at Vizier, and analysed. Many NACAA participants will have contributed to the observation dataset, by way of their participation in the program run by the late Byron Soulsby. The presentation will provide an overview of the results of the analysis.
