Re: Lunars "data collection form"

Hi Steve

I do not know of any formal form for taking lunars data.

In the day of the lunar (pre-1840s), forms as such didn't exist. Data was likely taken on the same small chalk board other data was collected on.

If you would like an orderly arrangement, may I suggest you simply examine Frank's online calculator to create a form that not only duplicates the required (and optional) inputs, but also copies the actual layout. In doing so, it will correspond exactly, leading to less confusion on data entry. Everything you need to determine is requested.

I would like to begin my study of Lunars knowing that when I take a sight I will be able to use a data collection form designed for use in the field specifically for that purpose.
Are there forms avaliable and so arranged that data can be identified, gathered and entered secquencally in keeping with Lunar data collection protocal?
Data gathering for Lunars must take place in a prefered secquence or particular order. There may be other forms or calculation sheets that would be useful to one beginning to learn the Lunar method, and in particular the method taught by Frank.
It seems that there might also be a form specifically arranged such that the data collected, in the field, could be enter and processed secquencially as part of the reduction process. (Even from an early age, I always prefered the stroller.)
Are there such a forms?
