See if you can find the mistake (large and obvious) in the Sept edition of "Night Sky" - Bintels newsletter.....

ummmmmm . . . .

they left the 'Snake Valley Astronomical Association' out of the list of Astro Societies again.

Whatever it is Lee, it must be too large and obvious coz I can't find it. Often it's the obvious that we don't notice!

I have the paper copy, but the pdf has the same error in it.....

Nothing to do with prices.... unless there are more than one errors....

Only inconsistancy I can see is that poor old father time Saturn has had a sex-change.

No interpretation required - just plain old incorrect scientific/astronomic information.....

yeah I'd like to see Virgo, Jupiter, Leo and Mars that high in the sky in the early evening. How early is early? 12:00 in the afternoon???

Well done.....
I was sitting down to lunch, and started thinking about some alignment stars.... thought - hang on!
Phoned Bintel - they weren't aware at that stage.....
