That book link is great, anyone have a wget command to get it all? It's like 103 images, but no download tarball?

P.S.

But, I guess my model has somewhat different constraints. One of the biggest differences, is since I'm trying to communicate with people I already know exist( not unknown aliens), I can assume they understand morse code.....at least recognize a dit-dah pattern sequence. It's actually quite unique sound to listen to old morse code....

So that greatly simplifies the amount of work to detect a pattern, because you know the intelligence level of the entities at the other end.

    An LWP::Simple script will fetch it. This is just the pages of the paper I cited, but should extend for the whole thing: 

    perl -MLWP::Simple 
-E"getstore 
qq[http://articles.adsabs.harvard.edu/cache/seri/ASPC./0047/600/0000${
+_}.000.gif], 
qq[bk${_}.gif] for 103..115"

      Your 1-liner failed for me for some reason. I used this: 
      #!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;

&get_web_files;

sub get_web_files {
   use Fatal qw(open close);
   use LWP::Simple;
   use HTTP::Status;
  
   foreach my $num ( 89 .. 99 ) {

      my $baseURL = 'http://articles.adsabs.harvard.edu/cache/seri/ASP
+C./0047/600/';
      my $localfile = '00000'.$num . '.000.gif';
      my $URL       = $baseURL . $localfile;
      my $rc        = mirror( $URL, $localfile );
      warn status_message( $rc ) if is_error( $rc );
   }

}
