Hello, I am trying an experimental posting of information
for astronomical events/coordinates for the month of Sept (84)
Since there have been a few requests for such information
in the recent past, I thought I'd try my hand at furnishing
some of the information people might want. Please let me
know your opinions/suggestions on this. If there is enough
Positive Responce, I may attempt to make it a regular Monthly
posting.
This is NOT an attempt on my part to compete with the "Star Date"
postings. Rather, it is an attempt to help Supplement these postings
by providing additional information for an entire month. If you
have any comments/suggestions either send EMAIL to IHNP4!IHUXJ!AMRA
or Post to "net.astro". I will try to respond in a timely manner.
Thanks for your time hope you find this of some use. Let me know
what you think, I really would like to know.
The information appears below, Happy Reading/Star Gazing.....
