Another excellent edition of the newsletter, but I wish to make an important correction. The group that went to observe the grazing occultation of Aldebaran was led by Eric Shepard, who was omitted from the article (page 6). Eric did the calculations to determine the best location to observe from and did them perfectly. Thanks to him we all enjoyed a very successful outing with better observations than I have seen from any other observers of this event. Congratulations Eric; you deserve the most credit and I’m sorry you were left out of the article.
