I do not know about availability of "The Daily Telegraph" mentioned by Peter. The question no longer arouses any public emotions so I think serious investigation now is out of question and there are only few institutions that could carry it out properly. > >Your advice to students about keeping log-books is quite good. It won't help however in case of cheaters but these were very few fortunately. Polar expeditions required strong, reliable characters and cheating in most cases does not live well with such virtues. > >It is good to know that we have another professional astronomer among us (I judge by your signature). Sometimes we discuss such issues that best would be solved by professionals. At least you have easy access to resources and at least you know where to search for a definitive answer. Few weeks ago we had hotted debate about definition of the equinox and we did not arrive at final, precise definition (more or less we know what it is about) so maybe you and other "hidden" professionals could help. > >
