Nov/Dec 2004 free Arcturus magazine online now

hello everyone,

I have posted up the November/December 2004 edition of Arcturus magazine to the www.irishastronomy.org forum now. Apologies for the delay.

This issue is a 24-page special devoted to the Moon with the main highlight an interview with lunar expert and Sky and Telescope columnist Charles Wood.

we also have articles by Shane Culleton on observing the Apollo landing sites, Deirdre Kelleghan on remembering the Apollo 11 landing, a sampler of lunar observing projects, and a brief trawl through the vast store of voyages to the Moon in science fiction literature before the twentieth century. A quick look at celestial highlights in Orion by Seanie Morris rounds off the feature articles.

all the usual sky notes, news notes, and society news are in this month's issue too.

you can download the 1Mb Adobe Acrobat file (arc_nov_04.pdf) at www.irishastronomy.org/user_resources/viewFiles.php?folder_id=3

enjoy!

Superb work as always John - Réalta has a bit of catching up to do!

Two words: SERIOUS QUALITY (each and every issue) !!!

Anthony.

thanks guys for the kudos!

as always, I have to thank the contributors over the past two years (is it that long since the first issue!)

remember too that it is the magazine for all the clubs in Ireland so get on to your club secretaries and committees to send me any news about your group which we can feature. Meeting details are most welcome too as I normally have to comb the various web sites to find out what's happening where, which takes a bit of time (grumble, grumble )

atb,

John

Superb issue John, packed with information, probably the best yet?

Had a good read through it over the last couple of days.
It's a very very good publication.
Well done to all concerned and keep up the good work.
