To the editor:

I enjoyed “Resource at Risk: Can Downeast Maine save its dark skies?” (WWF Feb. 06) by Craig Idlebrook. It was produced through the efforts of my colleagues at The Island Astronomy Institute. Peter Lord provided Craig Idlebrook with the photos for the article. Your photo gives credit to Craig and not the true photographer. I took that photo last summer from my observatory in Sullivan. I appreciate you using my work as long as credit is given to the photographer.

Thanks again for the nice article.
