Astronomical Calendar

Does anyone else get this calendar year after year?

I love it!

It's packed with useful information for each year, and the graphics make everything very
understandable to me.

This year, S&T is selling it (unfortunately, unlike the local B&N, still at list price!), but we
get it cheaper every year thru the local astronomy club, by bulk ordering it.

I have gotten it since the early 90's. My college astro prof
introduced it to me...

It is WONDERFUL!

It's a great resource, particularly for planetary observing planning
and major meteor showers. A similar graphical layout is used in the
annual RASC Observer's Handbook (2005) for sunset/sunset by latitude.
The RASC diagram is horizontal and runs left to right - which, for me,
is easier to follow than the S&T up and down layout. I like to mount
by S&T calendar horizontally, which again in IMHO, is easier to follow,
other than the S&T calendar then runs right to left.

The AAVSO Julian Day Calendar for 2005 is also now out.
