December 2000

In case anybody in TAAA cares about following up, I mentioned a couple of pages on my Web site during the talk. Perhaps this could be thrown into the next newsletter. Here are the URL's:

http://www.psiaz.com/polakis/eyepiece.html -- This is the eyepiece magnification and exit pupil calculation spreadsheet I brought up.

http://www.psiaz.com/polakis/edgeons/edgeon.html -- I mentioned edge-on galaxies. This page contains a list and descriptions of the best of such objects in the Spring sky.

These sites are reached from my "Arizona Sky Pages" at http://www.psiaz.com/polakis/

Thanks.

Tom Polakis
