The 2011 Astronomical Calendar:

Specially priced for League members

The Astronomical League is pleased to announce a special offer for our members from the Universal Workshop, the producers of Guy Ottewell’s popular Astronomical Calendar. They are making the 2011 edition of the Astronomical Calendar available at a discounted price. There are plenty of good reasons why it has been published for over thirty years. The 2011 edition will not disappoint!

Packed throughout its 84 pages are monthly sky charts; daily celestial highlights; charts, tables, and explanations of planetary movements; eclipse times and paths; and lunar occultation specifics. There are extensive descriptions of the year’s meteor showers and periodic comets, as well. This calendar tells, in clear language, what events occur and when they happen.

League members can order this incredible compilation of the year’s celestial events for $19.95, shipping included (standard ground shipping to US addresses, only). Volume discounts, beginning with a minimum of 11 copies, for clubs are available. But, to take advantage of the free shipping offer, you must order by Friday December 31, 2010, and either use the special website, www.Universalworkshop.com/clubs.htm, or call 800-533-5083. The newly edited Astronomical Companion is also available at $19.95, shipping included if it is ordered at the same time as the Astronomial Calendar. Universalworkshop.com accepts Mastercard, Visa, Discover, American Express and PayPal.

Place your order with the club secretary or treasurer!
