Thank you, thank you Dean Ketelsen! To my surprise, he showed up at Marge's
Rocky Point Hideaway (see http://theketelsens.blogspot.com/) with a stack of
old magazines. Not just any magazines, but the missing ones from my Deep Sky
collection! What a great mag it was. I found an article on the Southern
Cross and Milky Way, which was a collaboration of Tom Polakis and Brian
Skiff, one by Chris Schur on Nebulosity in Cygnus (both in iss. 34), and an
article on the brilliant clusters in Canis Major by Jim Barclay, Steve Coe,
AJ Crayon, and Dave Fredericksen with many of their illustrations (iss. 13).
Now I have dupes (8, 13, and 34). I'll bring them to the meeting. If you
need them for your collection, they are yours. Thanks, Dean! I owe you a
truckload of Negra Modelo.
Jack
