Is anyone familiar with these? Would these be of interest to any astronomical groups or societies? I thought about listing them in Shop and Swap. They are interesting pieces of history. I found some stuff to be neat to look back to and see what was being said about the probes and new discoveries. Titan was regarded as a place that will surely receive future attention and exploration. -------------------- 6" f/8 Bushnell Voyager Dob.

Never heard of it. Sounds interesting though. What are the Wanderers? (Comets? Magazines?

Mike, I think you are on the right track as it must be a reference to Solar System bodies. Each month's calendar has star charts and different illustrations/graphics for Solar System body placements. Additionally, all of the illustrations look to be done with scratchboarding and are not woodcuts or pen-and-ink. -------------------- 6" f/8 Bushnell Voyager Dob.
