[sac-board] Re: Permission Request -- Permission Granted!!

I >was< gonna reply with some more flack about "why we can't copyright 
the database"... but why be negative?? (...I resemble that remark!!)
In leiu of that... Here is one example of what people DO with it...

Here is an article by Geoff Gaherty, a member of the Toronto Centre of 
the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, about his "Cosmic 
Birdwatching" experiences, and his hearty endorsement of "the 
magnificent" SAC database...

This was originally published in the Journal of the Royal Astronomical 
Society (JRASC), August 2006, pp.164-5.
Geoff lists his lifetime observing projects experience here:

Geoff has been publishing a series of columns titled "Through My 
Eyepiece" in the JRASC.

I hope sometime soon to begin utilizing fully the resources we have 
developed in SAC...
Cheers,
