There are some additions to the "post-event" section on the web page for the Navigation Weekend (last month at Mystic Seaport): http://www.fer3.com/Mystic2008 There is now a large collection of photos, some taken by me, many by Stan Klein. They're uncaptioned for now. On the resources page, there are links to Celestaire, the SEA, the Mystic Seaport digital collection (many old logbooks!) and two other interesting items: 1) a link to a video entitled "A Private Universe" in which you get to see recent Harvard grads explaining the causes of the seasons and getting it completely wrong. Draw your own conclusion (I think there are many possible explanations). 2) a link to an analysis by Dave Walden about clearing lunars using Bennett's tables where he worked out the statistical details. The results are certainly better than I would have expected but naturally not as good as you can get with purpose-built tables. -FER --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Navigation List archive: www.fer3.com/arc To post, email NavList@fer3.com To , email NavList-@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
