Episode 222In this episode of The Observers Notebook Podcast, host Tim Robertson sits down with Alberto Anunziato, an ALPO Lunar Observer from Argentina. Together, they explore the fascinating intersection between art and science in lunar observation — how detailed sketches made at the eyepiece can capture fleeting features of the Moon, aid in scientific study, and preserve the personal experience of observation.Is sketching an artistic pastime or a scientific tool? Alberto shares his insights, techniques, and passion for visual recording of lunar phenomena, reminding us that even in the digital age, a sketch can reveal what a camera may miss.You can contact Alberto at:[email protected]For more information you can visit the ALPO web site at:www.alpo-astronomy.org/You can also support this podcast at Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/ObserversNotebookListen to the podcast on Soundcloud:https://soundcloud.com/observersnotebookSubscribe on our YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/c/AssociationofLunarandPlanetaryObserversSubscribe on iTunes:https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/observers-notebook-the-alpo-podcast/id1199301885?mt=2I want to thank the Producers of this podcast, Steve Siedentop and Michael Moyer for their generous support of the Observers Notebook.Our Patreons:Jerry WhiteJason InmanBob LunsfordSteve SeidentopStephen BennettMichael MoyerShawn DillesDamian AllisCarl HergenrotherMichael McShanMichael BlakeNick EvettsStan SienkiewiczCarl HergenrotherStan SienkiewiczJohn RogersJim McCarthyStanley McMahan
