hi folks,
first time poster here so I'm not sure if this forum is where I should be putting up this.
I edit the bimonthly newsletter for the Irish Federation of Astronomical Societies (IFAS) and just wanted to let people know that the Nov/Dec 2004 issue has an interview with Charles Wood. In fact, the whole edition this month is devoted to aspects of the Moon.
you can download the magazine from --http://www.irishastronomy.org/user_resources/viewFiles.php?folder_id=3
the magazine, called Arcturus, is a 1Mb Adobe Acrobat readable pdf. Previous issues have featured David Levy and Phil Harrington, while the Jan/Feb 2005 one will have Guy Consolmagno and Dan Davis.
best wishes for the weekend,
John

hi Chris/Floie,
many thanks for the welcome and kind comments. Do you go to the RTMC Astro-Expo Floie? I was there in May this year and am definitely going back in 2005. Hope to see you there. I met up with some of the Kern, San Diego, and L.A. club members at the event and had a good chat with them all (including supping some of the home-made beer the Kern gang had along!).
all the best,
John

thanks everyone . . . enjoy the rest of the weekend (have to face into the Christmas shopping today!)
p.s. I think it was your picture Carol of the Venus light pillars that I admired on spaceweather.com some time ago; really amazing photograph and so rare to capture. One of my big interests in the hobby is atmospheric optics.

You have a good memory for names John, yes that was my photo. As luck had it I was in the right place at the right time with the right equipment.
Congratulations again on your excellent newsletter and thank you for sharing it with us.
