After July 31 the normal admission price of £9.50 applies. A booking form was sent with TA E-Circular 2828 issued on June 12. However if you are including anyone in your booking who has not previously been a subscriber to 'The Astronomer' magazine, there is a special offer for them to receive the first year's issues for just £10. The booking form on our website also contains an option with regard to this special offer. THE ASTRONOMER 2012 JULY PDF During the transmission of 2012 July issues on the evening of July 19 to pdf magazine subscribers, it appears, in addition, a corrupted file was also sent to a small number of TA Circular subscribers in error. This problem had been spotted and efforts had been made to delete the incorrect file and start again with the correct pdf but evidently not entirely with success. Apologies to anyone affected who received this file in error. SUPERNOVA 2012cy IN NGC 3462 (MOUNT LEMON SURVEY) 2012cy Jun 14.17 10 55 21.80 +07 41 50.4 16.8 11 "E 2 "N G. H.
