two goodies due to be published by Sky and Telescope . . .
first up is Celestial Sampler, a collection of the 60 small-scope sampler articles written by Sue French in Sky and Telescope magazine over the last few years. Well worth having if you really want to extend your deep sky explorations with a small telescope. Not sure if it will appear over here as Sky and T. charge horrendous postage rates -- might be worth checking with Armagh Planetarium though, who are Sky and Telescope resellers.

as it turns out, I'll have a small scope sampler Observing Handbook ready for October's Whirlpool Star Party!
next up is a re-issue of the Millennium Star Atlas, probably the last great star atlas that will appear in print form. More details are at
