Subject: [AZ-Observing] S&T Arizona Issue?
The Novenmber 2003 Sky&Tel could almost be called an Arizona issue, with at
least 15 AZ references this month. An interesting NGC/IC article by Steve
Gottlieb gives mention to Brian Skiff, Bob Erdmann, and Brent Archinal
(p116) and BobE again (p118). (Thanks guys for straightening out John
Herschel. :-)) Contributing Editor David Levy's (of AZ) article (p79) has a
pic of himself, Dean Koenig (Starizona owner), and Valerie Goff, and
reminisces on working with the late Bob Goff of Tucson.
Stephen C. Tegler of NAU is mentioned (p35) in a Kuiper Belt article (try to
get him as speaker (hint). Rich Jakiel (p16) writes the Editor (not AZ, but
spoke (and 'partied') here), Clyde Tombaugh is in a profile of Lowell
Observatory Flagstaff (p45), Chris Schur has an astrophoto (p139), and the
All-AZ Star Party (AZ City!) is announced (p82). Not to be left out,
"Phoenix" (p129) is the name of the new Mars Polar Lander (nice pick, it
follows the one that burned up). Hope I didn't leave anyone out!
It makes you want to be proud, glad and thankful you are observing from a
place like this, when you could be setting up your telescope and turn around
and there's Brent Archinal holding the flashlight for you! :-) (Feel like
you were dreaming, AJ?)
