Hi,
I'm doing a presentation on amateur astronomy on Long Island for an astronomy class I'm taking, and I was wondering if you would mind if I used your photo in the presentation as an example of what can be seen. I would really appreciate it.

Thanks,
Laura

Hi,
I wanted to say thanks again for letting me use your photo. My presentation went really well. I showed them how to use a couple of tools to find nights when interesting events are happening during the rest of the summer. Unfortunately, we weren't able to make it outside to see anything due to the non-stop rain in June, so it was nice to be able to show your photo as an example of what we might be able to see.
