Re: [APML] Going price for Astrophotography?!? (Slightly OT)

Hi Ulrich,

The going rate for displaying astropics at Scientific american magazine was
at $250.00 american dollars, (their offer) for a 3x6 display for one time
rights.
Unfortunately my picture got dropped but they offered me $100.00 dollars for
what they called a  photoresearch fee after I scanned and sent the image.

That is my experiance so far.

Congrats Ulrich
Brian
