The ROTATION REPORT is the newsletter of the ALPO Solar Section with
the primary function of promulgating the observations of the Section
members to the professional community as well as other observers. It's
secondary purpose is to bind our community of amateur solar astronomers
together with news notes and other solar information.
If you are a professional researcher and need the data listed here
contact: Richard Hill, Lunar & Planetary Lab., University of Arizona,
Tucson, AZ 85721 or email me at
rhill@lpl.arizona.edu There is no charge for use of the data, only the request that the Section be acknowledged as well as the individual observer.
All individual observers are listed below the data list. This
is done not only to give public recognition to these observers, but to
aid the professional in attributing credit.
ROTATION REPORT
issued during Carrington Rotation 1960
Contaning data to Jan. 1, 2000.
Prepared by Richard Hill, Coordinator ALPO Solar Section

News Notes
Well, we're heading into solar max. and the data is really pouring in.
This is, of course, wonderful but in some cases this has presented a
problem. Presently I receive about a dozen pieces of mail per day that
in some way deal with the ALPO website. With this and other pressures,
it is critical that solar data be in a form that can readily be
processed and passed onto the web page. Lately I have received digital
data that was incomplete to the point were, in several cases, it was
impossible to discern the observer or date/time of observation. So a
cautionary word to all follows.
It is best if data is given a title that includes the date or that the
body of the email to which the data is attached, indicate the date of
observation for the included data. In the Solar Section we have adopted
a standard format for archiving that is YYMMDDx.. That is, two
digit year, month and day followed by a letter (represented here by 'x'
and assigned by the Coordinator as data is received) and the format
extension (.jpg, .gif, .tif etc.). Since I use a UNIX workstation to
receive the data, some methods of transmission cause the received
images to lose the attachment titles and they are simpliy received as
"JPEG", "GIF" or "TIFF". In such case a couple lines of description in
the body of the email is very helpful.
It is extremely important that you find a way to put certain, minimal
information on the image itself. This information is not limited to,
but should include Name, email address, UT Date/Time, Rotation Number,
and what SEC Region number is imaged or what location on the disk. In
the case of prominence images please give the limb quadrant (SE, NW, E
etc. ). With this on your observation you will always be accurately
credited by not only the Section, but by any researchers, journals or
magazines that use your image(s). This is one of our highest
priorities, making sure that YOU the observer is credited at all times
for your diligent, hard work in making careful and good quality
observations.
Sunny Skies!
