Re: VMs: An Error in Allen's Star Names

["Larry Roux" <lroux@xxxxxxx>]

for f68r3 I still like: 

 d ch o l  d a y
al de b r al a n

It works with Roberts' numbering scheme/planetary line up for the words around the moon: okol chiol (1615 decbr) - which fits for the 30 December 1615 Moon alignment.

It is interesting to note that in f68r2 Aldebaran is spelled differently than f68r3:

 d ch i o l  d y
al de c b r al n

So I am thinking that the Voy was done more phonetically (at least for particular words) than in a consistent letter-for-letter basis.

Unless dchioldy is for 8 decbr 83 - On which date there is an interesting Jupiter/Saturn alignment - but all years in the Voy so far have been in 4 digit form.

>Hi Robert,

I have been busy with my writing and work and really am way behind. School 
will be over soon and the little buggers will be out of my hair. I will 
have more time to do things.
I like when things are all laid out so a web page would be great.
In the mean time ... as far as what I do ... I just sit and stare at things 
that don't work. I look to see what has been done, what has worked, and 
what hasn't. I loved the fact you were seeing things. I haven't had time to 
go into it, but, I thought this was interesting.
