Hello Night Sky Network,

2) Update for the Space Rocks ToolKit!
3) TELECON POWERPOINT is READY: Tune in Thursday for Cosmic Disasters: Real
& Imagined
4) ASP Award Nominations


>  1) Has your club qualified for the new Space Rocks ToolKit?
One NSN member just received his club's Space Rocks ToolKit and
immediately wrote to us: "Meteorites, Moon maps, and more oh my! (He's
from Kansas.) You have no idea of the impact it had on me.  I have
been asking my astro buddies for some meteorite and looking online for
the largest moon map I could find.  Viola!  Both came in my mail box
today!"

Space Rocks ToolKits are being shipped now. Over 100 ToolKits have
been sent to clubs that have logged their fabulous events using Night
Sky Network resources. Are you one of those clubs?

We will be checking for qualified clubs again on December 1st. Your
club just needs to have logged two events using Night Sky Network
resources between September 1st and November 30th to qualify for this
ToolKit. Don't miss out on this opportunity.
