Attached, please find the latest issue of the Custer Comment, the monthly
journal of Custer Institute. You are receiving the electronic edition in
lieu of the single-page hardcopy edition or the sender believes the current
issue would be of interest to you. This issue is chocked-full and contains
exciting news and pictures about ongoing or upcoming projects and events at
Custer, spectacular celestial events and unprecedented developments in
science and space exploration.

Highlights in this month's issue:
1. Astrobytes, the latest installment of my monthly column on
Astronomy-related software for the PC; 2. John Dobson at Custer; 3. Jamboree
2006: Itinerary, Agenda and registration; 4. Heavenly Events for October
2006 by Bob Chapin; 5. Brookhaven Township Lighting Ordinance; 6. Stony
Brook Open Nights for October; 7. SCCC Autumn Lecture Series and much, much
more.

In order to use the electronic version, you'll need Adobe
(http://www.adobe.com) Acrobat Reader, available for free download at:
http://cgim.adobe.com/acrobat/reader21/download.cgi . I've created a 'Custer
Comment Archive' where all issues I've published, including the current
issue, can be read or downloaded at http://www.tommadigan.net/custer. For
those who don't have the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader, version 7
is quite nice and is available for free download at
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html . The release version
of this month's issue was created with Adobe Acrobat Professional, version
7.0.

Best regards,
