Hi Les and Barry,

Guess I should have read all my mail before responding! :o)

I sketched Barnard's Star back in 1967 - if I can locate it I'll send it 
along. In the 35 years since the motion has been amazing, when you consider 
that most stars have barely budged in that time span. Even nearby Sirius's 
shift over that period is barely noticeable.

Later,
Doug
