Note the Moon is full tonight
The Moon has been up most of the time since the comet was first seen. We have seen no 
trace of the tail since the first night.

Transcription Notes:
Moon Observation Impact: The note mentions that the moon, being full and bright, has interfered with observations of the comet, particularly making it difficult to see its tail since the first sighting. Comet Observations: The numerical values (e.g., 7.00.50.7, 01.07.0) are likely timestamped records of comet observations, possibly indicating positions or times of observation. They seem sequential, suggesting tracking over time. +4 for Today: This section may indicate additional data or corrections applied to previous observations, with entries "Wh" and "D" likely representing specific observational methods or instruments. Additional Entries: The list of times or positions (e.g., 7m 10.48, 12.22.8) might correspond to further observations or calculated positions of the comet throughout the day. Final Notes: The references to "Bessel 731" and coordinates (e.g., A 0.50.1242) could be related to the comet's position in a specific star chart or catalog system. Summary: This page documents the continued tracking of a comet, with notes on the difficulties posed by a bright full moon. Observational data, including times, corrections, and possible celestial coordinates, are recorded to refine the comet's trajectory. ---Reopened from complete 1/7/2025: As interesting as your scientific notes are, this is not properly transcribed.

They are here: https://transcription.si.edu/instructions-women-computers-workbooks Removed the comments from previous transcription. Not sure if the word "May" or "today". Used annotation for comment under top. That may be incorrect. Going to mark for review. ---------- Reopened for Editing 2025-02-13 14:16:41
