Maryland Nights is actively looking for articles from amateur astronomers in the Baltimore and D.C. areas, as well as other metropolitan areas. These articles can be about any aspect of this wonderful hobby, but should focus on the challenges of amateur astronomy in an urban environment. I’ll provide the web space and bandwidth...you provide the article. To submit an article, please send an email with your topic and contact information.
