Hi -

        Our astronomy group (www.sovera.org) organization is creating an announcement for a free of charge talk on stars and we are requesting use of your image of the Pleiades for the announcement poster. About 20-30 people attend these small events, but thousands see the images in the local newspapers. We would indicate your name and copyright, and could also indicate your web site if you wish.

        Please advise if we have your permission to publish.Here is the/your web site of the image we have in mind: http://www.freewebs.com/afesan/ - we originally found the image on "Astronomy Picture of the Day", which we love!

Thanks so much -

Claudio Veliz,
President, SoVerA

"How quickly do we grow accustomed to wonders.

"I am reminded of the Isaac Asimov story "Nightfall,"
about the planet where the stars were visible only once
in a thousand years. So awesome was the sight
that it drove men mad. We who can see the stars every
night glance up casually at the cosmos and then
quickly down again, searching for a Dairy Queen."

        - Roger Ebert, from a movie review in the "Chicago Sun Times"
