From: TerryMoselaol.com Date: 22 May 2006 01:17:37 BDT Subject: Asteroid McKenna, New Magazine, Radio, TV, Events, IAA BBQ Hi all, 1. I forgot to mention that the naming of the asteroid for Martin McKenna was suggested by John McConnell, who was the first amateur astronomer in Ireland to have an asteroid named after him: No 9929 McConnell. Martin is also renowned for his legendary eyesight - and if anyone can discover a comet from Ireland, it's him! He's also doing a photographic search for novae. And sorry for the typo - Martin was 'IFAS astronomer of the year' for 2005, not 1995! (I had 1995 in my mind as the year the asteroid was discovered.) More details on: www.eaas.co.uk 2. NEW ASTRONOMY MAGAZINE FOR AMATEUR ASTRONOMERS - PRACTICAL ASTRONOMER "Astrum Publishing is pleased to announce the publication of a new printed monthly magazine dedicated to amateur astronomers. Practical Astronomer is published and printed in England.
