DEDICATION

* * * * *

To my loving wife, Sharon McDonald Mullaney, for her unfailing support and belief in the ultimate value of this labor-of-love to the worldwide fraternity of stargazers.

To my parents, James and Ernestine Mullaney, and my aunt and uncle, Elva and Walter Jones, for nurturing my interest in the stars from an early age - including the building of my first telescope.

To my sister, Elvira Mullaney Schmitt, and my brother, John Mullaney, for putting up with my nocturnal stargazing antics throughout our growing-up and school years.

To my uncle, Robert Franks, for giving me my first look at th$ Moon and Jupiter through his telescope, thereby starting me on my lifelong wondrous adventure as a “star pilgrim.”

To Arthur Draper, past Director of the Buhl Planetarium, and Nicholas Wagman, past Director of the Allegheny Observatory, for early inspiration and the use of their marvelous facilities.
