The cost is just 1 pound as a special offer to our e-circular subscribers compared with 2 pounds for the paper version. Unfortunately, because of its size, anyone on an overseas e-mail system (but not overseas subscribers using MICROLINK) will have to pay _3.00 to cover extra transmission charges. The new catalogue contains data on 410 objects which are plotted on 240 different charts. Details include name, RA & DEC, magnitude, amplitude if variable, type classification, chart availability in three types (A=finder, B=telescopic, C=High Power), limiting magnitude of sequence, quality of sequence and latest chart revision date. Objects covered include GCVS variables, NSV and other suspected variables, novae, supernovae, NGC galaxies on the SN search programme, optical components of X-ray sources, extragalactic variables, QSO's and much more. Send now by e-mailing MAG60138 with request for 'TA Chart Catalogue'. The cost will be added to your account as detailed in the TA database notes. If anyone requires a complete set of the 240 charts this can be supplied on receipt of a payment of 25 pounds for UK, post paid. Overseas should add 3 pounds. Guy M Hurst
