RELATIVE HEIGHTS OF PHOTOGRAPHIC FEATURES OF THE MOON.
Abstract
The first part of the report is concerned with a development of the new method of star-calibrated lunar photography, which we have pursued since October 1967 to improve the basic data for studies of the shape of the Moon, and of its physical librations. The second part described the constructed astrometric camera which secures high quality stellar images for the plate calibration and the third part outlines the computer programme for the reduction of the photographic plates. The final part, concerned with astrometric studies of the natural satellites of other planets of the solar system, concludes our effort in the field and gives details of the new results obtained for Jupiter V in published form.
