There was some discussion of studying auroras on the list awhile ago. So I thought that the following kit from a radio astronomy list that I belong to, might be of interest to some of the list members here on U-A. Clear skies, Dale. --------- Hello fellow observers - The Simple Aurora Monitor SAM-III Kits are now ready for ordering. Please visit: http://www.reeve.com/SAMOrderInfo.htm for information. The SAM-III is a 3-axis magnetometer system primarily used in the study of the Earth's magnetic field, but it has other applications as well. The SAM-III Kit replaces the original SAM Kit. If you already contacted me about ordering a SAM-III Kit, you should hear from me by email within 24 hours with details and payment information. If not, it means I lost your contact information and you should write again. If you have an original SAM, I will be offering a retrofit kit for converting it from 1- or 2-axis to 3-axis. After conversion it will be functionally identical to the SAM-III. Happy listening, and watching! Whit ---- Whitham D. Reeve Anchorage, Alaska USA ----
