>>>>>Hello all,
>>>>>I was perusing the site of Bill and Sally Fletcher. I know some of you know
>>>>>them personally. I was surprised to see that they are now offering a
>>>>>service where one can buy a picture of "their" star. I am assuming that
>>>>>this is alluding to the star purchasing scam we hear advertised on the radio
>>>>>daily. Perhaps I am misunderstanding the situation. Any help in clarifying
>>>>>is appreciated. I do find it somewhat alarming that two of the prominent
>>>>>professional astrophotographers have resorted to this as a revenue
>>>>>generating device. Comments welcome. Here is the link:

>>>>>P.S.
>>>>>Here is a letter of explanation
>>>>>http://www.scienceandart.com/0starnameletter.htm
>>>>>
>>>>>Of course, they reference their accepted work in the astronomical community,
>>>>>but offer no explanation that the "star they purchased" is not recognized by
>>>>>any astronomical authority.

>>>>>I find this disappointing. I guess you gotta pay the bills.
