Roger,


I still use her "Celestial Sampler", especially when she's observed an object that is in our Challenges.  Wouldn't it be a trip if she chose to submit a report for one of our challenges?


By the way, I've posted January's Challenge report.


Take care.  Looking forward to this month's challenge.  I hope to get out twice during the next two weeks.  May rendezvous with Fred  and David one night.


Rob

Rob, I wanted to mention that Sue French really liked your book review on the website of "Celestial Sampler". I had mentioned to her in a previous e-mail that you had done a very nice review of the book. She had somehow missed it, went back to the website and read your report. 
 
I know that it has been on the site for quite awhile, but it indeed is good review. Hopefully others will read and buy the book. It is a great little refernce book.

I had wanted to use the new Gardner-Webb scope to visually observe NGC-2264 but I didn't have time to drive in to campus tonight.
