As space is short in the page limited Handbook, could thought be given to removing pages 117 and 118? Surely its pretty much unchanging from year to year and readily Googled? I think I used the pendulum equation once as a teenager.
Similarly, as a space saving/creating measure, could the line spacing on page 116 be changed? That might free up ~1/3rd page that could be used for some small item like expected dates of observable Earth flyby/gravity assists.
I also wonder who looks at the Bright Stars info page. Genuine question: who uses it?
BTW none of this should be taken as criticism. A huge amount of work must go into creating the Handbook and I for one am very grateful to those who put in the hours. As a result of their work I’ve already started to plan my 2025 observing year. Its good to see the Handbook evolving. Thanks to all involved!
