The ALPO Computing Section is dedicated to providing computational support to the Association of Lunar and Planetary Observers by providing easy access to information and by encouraging general discussion about the generation of ephemerides and other computing aids to support lunar and planetary imaging and observation.

This section also serves as a bulletin board for the entire ALPO website, alerting members to new features or changes.  See link to “Website Alerts“.

Website Resources for Computing

In the right column of every page, you’ll see a number of categories with links to computing resources, applications and local links to the various sections of the site.  This is where we organize all of the content and resources for the section.  If you don’t see what you’re looking for, you can also perform a search, simply by entering text in the search box near the bottom of the column.

Our section also maintains a Yahoo discussion group called “alpocs”.  The group has it’s own file section, filled with interesting tables and documents (see below).

If you have questions, suggestions for content or anything you’d like to discuss about the site, please contact Larry Owens.
