[Lvas] Lvas Digest, Vol 23, Issue 20 - Observing Handbook

Thu May 14 11:42:52 PDT 2009

Roger, upon your recommendation I purchased The Observing Handbook and 
Catalogue of Deep-Sky Objects. I found a like-new copy at Amazon. I am very 
impressed with the information contained and the amount of effort that went 
into its publishing. I expect to make great use of it as a reference. Thank 
you for your recommendation.

John Boron
