[R-390] OT Apollo 11 Mission

[Guido]

I was 17 and on vacation at home with some cousins watching the whole event
in the old B&W TV. In the days before Apollo arrived in the moon I had been
participating in the Apollo Optical Tracking Program managed by Bellcomm in
conjunction with the American Association of Variable Stars Observers. The
idea was to spot and follow as much as possible and using telescopes, the
Apollo 11 spacecraft. It was succesful and continued through other missions.
Well, now you know that apart from radios I also do some astronomy :>).
It was an awesome experience.
