Lunar Dome Survey
Scientific paper
The ALPO board of directors approved the revival of the Lunar Dome Survey during their annual board meeting in the summer of 2003. The initial LDS program was conceived by Harry Jamieson in the early 1960's and headed by him when the British Astronomical Assn. (BAA) was invited to join the program, which they did. The joint effort between the ALPO and BAA lunar sections lasted for approximately 14 years, ending officially around 1976 due to a decline in interest. The program was again revived in 1987 under the direction of Jim Phillips and lasted until the mid-1990's. All told, this program has been one of the longest running programs in the history of the Lunar Section of ALPO. The revived program will concentrate on cleaning up the existing catalog, classification and confirmation of the objects contained therein, and analysis of the database created in the process. It is hoped that, as in the past, much of the newly revived Lunar Dome Survey will be an international effort.
