Gemini Submissions

Gemini, the bi-monthly newsletter for the members and friends of the Minnesota Astronomical Society, depends on its readers for content. Anyone is invited and encouraged to submit material for publication in Gemini. Strong writing skills are not required - the editor will help with the mechanics of getting it printed - so don't be shy!

Submitting an item or idea is easy. Just click on the "Submit Item to Editor" button below to e-mail the editor. (You can also send e-mail directly to gemini@mnastro.org.) Include your item with the e-mail, or describe your idea for the editor who will gladly work with you to get it published.

Here are some ideas that would make excellent contributions:

Stories	Amateur astronomers encounter interesting situations, and solve many unusual problems. Tell us about yours.
Photos	Astrophotography: film and CCD. Seeing work by members of our own group is inspirational to all us. Techniques and tips for this challenging area are extremely valuable. Pass them along.
Opinions	Send a letter to the editor. Topics can range from issues unique to the MAS to your opinions on the validity of the Big Bang.
Want Ads	Want to buy? Looking to sell? Write it up and broadcast it to our members and subscribers.
Announcements	MAS or astronomy-related announcements are always welcome.
Columns	Here's an easy way to gain local fame for your essays, writing, or tutorial skills by writing a column. It's a wonderful way to contribute to the MAS from the convenience of your keyboard.
