We are often short of photographs for the WGN covers that we publish in colour (front cover) or black & white (back cover). If you think you have an exciting meteor-related photograph, please offer it to us. You can send your photos to wgn(at)imo.net, but remember to put `Meteor' in the subject line to get round the anti-spam filters.

We are now accepting registrations for the International Meteor Conference 2010 from September 16th (Thursday evening) to 19th (Sunday lunchtime), in Armagh. Everything related to the conference is available on the website, which has been updated recently with plenty of new information.

See you in Armagh in September!

Later in the year, September 16 to 19 September, the IMO will hold its annual conference in Armagh, Northern Ireland (UK).
