I can't believe I'm just finding this thing now...guess I haven't browsed the forums for awhile.
Thank you folks for this Fantastic Calendar!
It's awesomeness can only be rivaled by the vast beauty & spectacular power of our Universe, or by a picture of kittens.
;)

Merry Christmas Starship Travelers!

It would be pretty cool to have any space agency's major event in there. Launches are too capricious but a major event like New Horizons reaching Pluto or something like that would be great.

Ahhhh, I'm pretty sure the calendar creators are NASA fans.... (just sayin')

Sorry but I have to disagree. The calendar should be pure astronomy and not specific to any institution. Even though I agree NASA has made great contributions, I do not want to follow NASA's yearly schedule. All I want to do is enjoy the astronomy. If NASA fans want this, they can work with the calendar creators to produce a separate version with NASA events. Such events should definitely not be in the default calendar IMO.

You have TWO different links, but the FILE at both is identical. Thanks so much for the spectacular images and overall format of the calendar !!!
The imagery is identical, but the calendar is different, and the files are different. The symbols for waxing and waning half moons for the Southern Hemisphere are the opposite of those for the Northern Hemisphere.

The MD5SUM of each:

Thanks, though that was caught a few posts up. Unfortunately it's just going to have to be in this year's calendar.

Superb job, peoples. As a life-long proof-reader (what an exciting way to spend an incarnation, eh?) I would point out one incey-wincey typo in case that page is carried over to next year's calendar (you never know, it might!). On Page 28/30 in the calendar for 2015, what should be May 30 is printed as May 31.

It's probably something to do with your printer, Torillion. The file is the same file regardless of which program you use to open it with. If there is a support website for your printer model, you might try that. Otherwise, you could also try another printer.

Hi -

I'm having a problem printing the photos. I'm getting stripes that run top to bottom in the landscape format. The stripes are about 1" wide portions of the photo that are darker or lighter than each other. They don't affect the content of the photos, but the brightness and contrast varies from stripe to stripe. Any ideas? I've tried .pdf, I tried opening it with Internet Explorer and get the same results. I'm trying to open it in Firefox now.

Thanks,

Torillion

Oh, December 2014 has December 2012's APODs since 2013's December APODs didn't exist when I made the calendar. To avoid repeats, I used 2011 for the December 2013 month. I actually managed to confuse my self several times in the process, too.
