Mr. E. Moore of the Lunar Section – any info?

[Tim Haymes]

I write the lunar occultation report in the LSC. E.Moore is frequently credited. Does anyone have some info him ? (Full name, local AS etc).

There is one reference to him in the JBAA, 1973 August. Vol 83, No 5, page 361. Im wondering if he was also a double star observer since he was interested in the occultation of double stars.

There is an E.Moore (Eddie) who was a member of Reading AS in the 1970s/1980s, who i was acquainted with, and we observed together. I don’t think its the same person, but could be wrong.

Too add: The Lunar Section circular of 1975 Nov. is an interesting read: https://britastro.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Lunar-Section-Circular-1975-11.pdf. E. Moore presented a paper at the Reading Meeting. I was not at that meeting though.

There’s an E G Moore active in the BAA around this time, the attached image is from the second half-century Journal index. He also contributed to The Astronomer where his address was: 44 Nelson Road, Rayleigh, Essex. By the time his final Journal contribution was published (vol 92, p.47) in 1981 he had moved to 1 Hillside Villas, Station Road, Pluckley, Kent.
