"I have one request, which is this, that the observations shall be made known each year. Observations buried in a desk are no observations. Should they be entrusted to me for reduction, or even for publication, I will undertake it with joy and thanks, and will also answer all questions with care and with the greatest pleasure.”
Friedrich Wilhelm August Argelander, 1844
