I've been holding out for a subscription deal.... This sounds good to me. I just scored some back issues of ATT at Bookman's in Mesa... (As well as some "freebies" at the PATS vendor show... but of course I had to drive to Pasadena to collect those).... :>)) FYI, Dr. Klaus Brasch, who gave the EXCELLENT preso on his B&B trip to Chile and showed those wonderful slides of the southern skies at the Jan. SAC meeting... Has a neat article in the Sept-Oct 2009 issue of ATT... Cheers, Gene Lucas (17250) Chris Hanrahan wrote: > Great idea.
