Having carefully reviewed the writing styles of the two authors, it is hard for me to understand any reason why. I'll have to ask what Lowell thinks. ;)Steve

I will be buying that issue of Sky and Telescope. Will that be the September issue? I really had a blast at ALCON 2011. My only regret is that I couldn't take both telescopes. Debbie On Wed, Jul 6, 2011 at 4:27 PM, Don J. Colton <djcolton@piol.com> wrote:

It's hard to say, Debbie, because they work months in advance. But maybe they held space for this because it was a scheduled event. Check out the mags on the rack, is probably your best bet.
