Scope and content

They are 'more than glad' to make the pictures available to FH. Asks if FH would like positive or negative prints, or a mixture. Cannot find the 'star field taken with the 48-inch Schmidt, PS-150-H'. Asks if FH is thinking of the 'magnificent plate taken in the red of the center of our galaxy by Baade'. Has found another pictograph showing a crescent partially eclipsed by a circle, in a canyon north of the White Mesa. Analyses of potsherds form the two sites show that there is a good possibility that they were in habited in 1054, and on 5 July of that year, the crescent moon was just 2 degrees north of the supernova. Started work on the Navajo Canyon area last summer, and hopes to continue if funding can be found.
