Missing Lunar Graze results from 1974 to 1985


If you were observing lunar grazes is this time period please read on...

Dave Gault has been trying to check that all grazes reported as observed in the Australia and New Zealand zone are actually in the official acrchives.
He says:

I'm sure you are aware of the Graze Review currently being conducted by Dave Herald and Myself. David Dunham sent me a list of all grazes that were reported in the Occultation Newsletter. This Summary of Grazes Report started in 1974 and continued up to about 2003, where it seems to stop. I have been using the list as a cross reference to grazes in the archive as I work through the events. If the ON list refers to a graze that is not in the archive, I put a "No" flag to indicate that no record exists.

To date we have reviewed the period 1974 to 1985 and we are shocked to see 210 grazes missing! That's data from 722 stations and 2983 events!

I have attached a copy of the list (see below), sorted to only include the missing grazes.

It's true to say that some reports might be lurking in the paper report files that David Dunham once had in his possession and that Ken Coles now is working through, sending me the detail scans or reports, but sadly nobody truly knows what is in the pile of files, as there is no index. It is also true to say that Bob Sandy also has an extensive library of graze reports sent to him in the past, so that he could draw a Pictorial Reduction. We have identified about 30 unreported grazes that are being addressed.

I'm currently working through the era 1986-1989 and DaveH is working through 1995-1999 and I daresay that the list will grow. But I remain hopeful that details will turn up from Ken, Bob and others.

I was rather hoping that you could post this list on your web sites in the hope that someone might see the list and realise that their events are missing and might be in a position to do something about it.

If you find a graze below that you were involved in or have the detailed data for then please send an email to Dave mailto:daveg@tpg.com.au
