Hello Rick,

Interesting.

You asked me to write an article about a year ago, which I did. I 
have not been asked again since.

I'd be happy to write some articles if they would be published.

Examples:

1. On converting a stock Meade DSI Pro CCD camera to a more serious instrument.
2. CCD Photometry.
3. Infrared Photometry with an SSP-4.
4. Possibly Gene Lucas and I could expand on the upcoming 
show-and-tell on the theta Orionis eclipse.
5. JH Band photometry of delta Orionis (right most star in Orion's belt).
6. Strange out-of-eclipse variations of epsilon Aurigae.
7. Getting started with real science.
8. Using Meade AutoStar for auto tracking, imaging, image processing 
and photometry. Could be 4 articles.

Lot's of possibilities, but you need to ask.

Jeff
