Dear
Tomoko,
We are exceedingly glad to offer a permanent home for the important records
Masatsugu has left us about Mars, and aware of the fact that since Percival
Lowell’s own time, the relationship of the Observatory with the great country
of Japan has always been one of deep affection. I believe my dear friend Masatsugu
would have been delighted to know that his work will live on in this way.
With warm regards and thanks
Bill

Dear Bill,
Thank you for your great kindness
to my husband Masatsugu Minami.
I finally completed packing the
load and deliverd it to air carrier.
The load consists of 90 sketchbooks
and 20 cm telescope reflector.
I'm sorry to have kept you waiting
so long.
The load will arrive at Lowell
Observatory in about 5,6days.
I sincerely hope that his
sketchbooks are helpful to astronomers and lead to the development of astronomy
in the future.
I believe that his books will be
kept and exhibited there for as long as the Lowell Observatory survives.
Sincerely yours,
Tomoko

Hi all,
Poor to
fair seeing on the 23rd allowed a reasonable result. Little
of note across the planet.

Hi all,
Reasonable
seeing on the 20th allowed a nice view of the region following the GRS.
Note
the STB spectre is seen appearing as a closed circulation pattern in the STB
latitude.

Uranus with the 1m telescope, without any detail here except maybe a small
protusion South of the bright North polar zone, which in this start of boreal
spring, is quite bright, probably warming up from years of shadow ...

Dears,
Under acceptable conditions.
At
least one north spot is visible (which turns around with the planet during
acquisition). South pole, colder (it's end of winter
there), is bright.

Hi All,
Few good opportunities on Mercury so far this time.
This
morning was too windy to put up the scope sun shade; the pause control on
'Firecapture' was great for coping with the scudding clouds.
The single
run was stopped early when the cloud came across rather too frequently...still, some detail was seen on processing.

Hi all,
I
processed another set from this raw data. This time the GRS is on view with
Ganymede and Io alongside the planet. Moons were processed separately but their
positions are exactly correct for the time. Ganymede was taken from the 0950
data set as it was just slightly out of frame for the 0817 set.

Hi all,
Here is
a Jupiter image processed from the raw HST data obtained by Amy Simon and
colleagues on June 26th.
The
quality is of course exceptional. However achieving an accurate colour balance
is challenging (due to the violet filter used for the B channel) and took some
time. Oval BA is nicely visible.
