Again Jeff, The subject matter should obviously be somehow related to astronomy, Whether it's some of the scientific work you done. Or work other are doing that you are versed on, the choice is yours. I'm not picky. Your last piece on EPS Aur was quite interesting and actually generated comments from other clubs who receive our NL. Possibly a better way to pursue this is: What thing are you working on that you could write about? The Deadline for the Jan Issue would best be set for Monday. That would give me time to have Peter Mail the hard copies. For Feb make it 28 Jan. I'll publish a deadline list in the upcoming issue.
