Hi all,
Many thanks for the kind words about the calendar. I've been working away on the 2017 edition and now have it well on the way towards completion. A draft version can be downloaded from the link below.

Still have to finish the following:
- monthly notes (February's is complete as an example of how they will look
- celestial highlights to be summarised on page 2
- tabular data to be added on page 3
- images (and their captions just underneath each on the same page) to be added for the printed version
- update event dates and mission launches over the next couple of months as the details get more refined
Feel free to post up any suggestions, questions, or comments,
John
P.S., the cover photo is one I took at the annular solar eclipse of May 31st, 2003 which we saw from Durness in northern Scotland. I used a 200mm lens and 100 ASA slide film on a Zenith camera. Paul Tipper is who is in the foreground and is observing the event with his 80-mm Short-tube refractor equipped with a glass solar filter.
