The Lundmark Panorama and Night Sky in July

Talk by ASE member Clive Davenhall

I’ll describe the history and creation of the Lundmark Panorama, a famous image of the Milky Way created under the supervision of Knut Lundmark at the Lund Observatory in Sweden during the 1950s and which was reproduced in many astronomy books printed during the late 1950s and 1960s.

Following on Horst will tell us about the night sky in July.
