For those Nav-l members who find lunar distances a complete turn-off, they should delete this message and the accompanying one, "About Lunars, Part 4b", straightaway. For any others, I have amended my earlier posting of about a year ago, "About Lunars, Part 4b", to reflect my altered views about the effects of parallactic retardation, which, I'm all too aware, haven't met with unanimous approval from this list recently. The changes are entirely in section 4.4b, which replaces 4.4a. I have received some counter-arguments, but am as yet unconvinced. However, my mind is still open. In a few days, I will ask Arthur Pearson to post up a pointer on his website,, to replace the existing pointer to part 4a, but before doing so, I'll wait for any comments and criticisms and picking-out of errors, from the list. I am aware that some listmembers may feel that they have had a bellyful of lunar stuff recently, so feel free to pass on any views, either to the list, or off-list directly to me, whichever you think is appropriate.
