The VCAS Observer's Calendar is being reformatted in order to target a larger market than just the RTMC audience. To do this, we will be publishing the 2013 Observer's Calendar in the more traditional January through December format.

In the meantime, we had hoped to complete a "transitional" Observer's Calendar covering the intervening months until the new calendar is available. Unfortunately, we ran out of time to make the deadline for the RTMC conference this year.

I promise that the new 2013 Observer's Calendar will be available by the end of the year (we're targeting November/December). Like you, I will be relying on internet data Moon Phases, until the calendar is available.

We'll post a banner announcement on our website as soon as the 2013 Observer's Calendar is available, along with a link that will allow you to purchase it online. It will also be available at all of our VCAS functions.

We are sorry for the inconvenience, but you will find the new Observer's Calendar will be as attractive and accurate as before!
