Trevor,

Very nice work with both the spring and summer issues. I really enjoyed Dave's story and the acquisition of the first amateur observatory code from MPC.

Anthony.

Just so folks know - this is a very much expanded version of what appeared in A&S.

Cheers

Dave

Hi Trevor,
its a great read, again!

But, I will add my 2 cents worth, as you asked for it!

Can I assume that your short page count is for printing restrictions too? Obviously, you do not look to be short on content. But even adding space would be good. I woul suggest perhaps even decreasing the pitch of your font in the main articles' texts. I did the same with Réalta (from 12, down to 11, and now, 9, using Times New Roman, as it is slightly thinner than your Arial's and Verdana's), and I get to add more content, but also keep spaces between articles, or sections, and it doesn't looked cramped either.

Other than that, your 3 column layout looks fine, you have fine pictures relating to your articles included, and the cover is catchy!

Overall? A thumbs-up!

Seanie.
